Explosive Accusations Mount Against Alexander Brothers as Legal Battle Heats Up

The Alexander brothers, Oren, Alon, and Tal, once prominent figures in the luxury real estate markets of Miami and New York City, are currently facing serious accusations of rape and sexual assault from over 60 alleged victims, including a minor. These alleged incidents date back to 2009. The brothers have pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges and vehemently deny any wrongdoing. They are presently being held without bail at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, awaiting their trial scheduled for January 2026.

Their legal team, attorneys Edward O’Donnell and Joel Denaro, contend that the claims against the brothers may be fabricated and are primarily motivated by financial gain. O’Donnell highlighted the "mathematical possibilities" of all accusers coming forward simultaneously, none initially reporting to law enforcement, and instead, each pursuing personal injury lawsuits for money. "It is no coincidence that for 10, 15 years, not one person had ever accused these brothers of ever doing anything inappropriate, and all of a sudden, at one time, in the same exact window frame, every single person that you’ve heard of that has accused the Alexander brothers of assaulting them came through a personal injury lawsuit trying to sue them for money," O’Donnell stated. He further emphasized the lack of physical evidence, asserting, "There’s zero evidence whatsoever that the assaults occurred," as no accusers he is aware of sought hospital rape kits.

Prosecutors, however, allege that Oren, 39, and his 38-year-old twin brothers, Alon and Tal, "worked together and with others known and unknown to repeatedly and violently drug, sexually assault and rape dozens of victims" between 2009 and 2021, sometimes promising luxury experiences in exchange for sex.

Addressing the delay in victims coming forward, attorneys for the alleged victims, and reporter Ana Claudia Chacin (who has spoken to several accusers), explain that many were hesitant due to shame, fear of not being believed, or intimidation by the brothers’ status and wealth. Lindsey Acree, for instance, initially sought to file anonymously to avoid being "known for" her assault. Carissa Peebles, an attorney for one woman, noted her client's "lot of fear." Another anonymous woman told NBC6 that her decision to speak out was to encourage others, hoping "justice starts with a single step forward." Chacin described a "domino effect," where initial lawsuits by a few women empowered others to share their stories, some having kept memories "in little boxes" for years. One woman reportedly tried to report her assault to the police but was dismissed because she had willingly consumed what she believed was laced marijuana, and she was denied a rape kit at the hospital.

The defense also cited a December 2024 email from an alleged victim to a prosecutor, seeking recommendations for lawyers pursuing the Alexander brothers’ case, stating, "I would like to sue." O’Donnell claimed the prosecutor then provided names and emails of civil lawyers. A representative for the District Attorney's office clarified that this was "a response to a direct question, not a referral." An attorney for an alleged victim countered these claims, calling it "predictable and pathetic that counsel for the Alexanders is name-calling the victims as opportunistic for seeking civil remedies after being [allegedly] trafficked and raped." They argued that victims should hold the Alexanders "financially accountable for the lives they have ruined."

Maria Suska, one of Oren's accusers whose case is barred by Florida's statute of limitations, shared her story from a 2014 party in Miami. She described Oren inviting her to dinner at the Versace mansion, where 10 other girls and two promoters were present. She recounted being invited upstairs by Oren to see a watchtower, where she claims he attacked her. Suska admitted she didn't file a police report initially due to fear and self-blame, but eventually did so last year in December, after seeing other women's stories. She initially thought, "who’s gonna believe me? He’s powerful."

In July, the legal team for Oren and Alon Alexander filed a motion to dismiss a New York lawsuit, presenting "flirty messages and nude pictures" the woman allegedly sent to the brothers after she claimed she was attacked. Despite the challenges, Denaro stated the brothers are being "strong" and have "no choice but to sit and fight these accusations, which are eight, sometimes 12 years old with no physical evidence."
