Explosive Allegations: Women Detail Assaults in Alexander Brothers Case, Lawyers Deny '0 Evidence'!

Oren, Alon, and Tal Alexander, once prominent figures in the luxury real estate markets of Miami and New York City, are currently embroiled in a high-profile legal battle, facing accusations of raping or sexually assaulting at least 60 victims, including a minor. These alleged incidents reportedly date back to 2009. The brothers have pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges, denying any wrongdoing.

Federal prosecutors have alleged that Oren, 39, and his twin brothers, Alon and Tal, 38, "worked together and with others known and unknown to repeatedly and violently drug, sexually assault and rape dozens of victims" between 2009 and 2021. The accusations claim the brothers lured women with promises of luxury experiences in exchange for sex. Miami Herald reporter Ana Claudia Chacin noted the "eerily similar" stories from victims, often involving women being drugged or consuming excessive alcohol to a state of incapacitation, rendering them unable to consent.

The defense attorneys for the Alexander brothers, Edward O’Donnell and Joel Denaro, have vehemently challenged these claims, suggesting that the accusations may be fabricated and orchestrated by personal injury lawyers. O’Donnell stated in an interview, "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." Denaro questioned the "mathematical possibilities" of all accusers coming forward simultaneously, none initially reporting to law enforcement directly. The defense also asserts a lack of physical evidence, with O'Donnell claiming "zero [physical] evidence from any of the accusers that I’m aware of" due to alleged victims not seeking rape kits or hospital examinations.

Conversely, attorneys representing the alleged victims and the victims themselves offer explanations for the delayed reporting. Many victims expressed fear, shame, and apprehension about not being believed, given the brothers' status and wealth in society. Lindsey Acree, one alleged victim, sought to file a lawsuit anonymously to avoid being "known for" her assault. Carissa Peebles, an attorney, highlighted her client's "lot of fear." Ana Claudia Chacin described a "domino effect," where initial lawsuits empowered more women to come forward. Maria Suska, an accuser who is not part of the current legal proceedings due to the statute of limitations, detailed her alleged 2014 assault, explaining her initial silence due to fear and self-blame, finally filing a police report years later. Another woman reportedly tried to report an assault but was dismissed by police who cited her willing consumption of marijuana, which she believed was laced, leading to denial of a rape kit at the hospital.

A point of contention has arisen regarding communication between prosecutors and alleged victims. O’Donnell presented an email from December 2024 where an alleged victim asked a prosecutor for recommendations for lawyers working on the Alexander brothers' case, explicitly stating, "I would like to sue." O’Donnell claimed the prosecutor responded with names and emails of lawyers pursuing civil cases. While the defense views this as evidence of orchestration, a rep for the District Attorney’s office clarified that the email was "a response to a direct question, not a referral." An attorney for an alleged victim countered, stating it is "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."

In a separate development, the legal team for Oren and Alon Alexander filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit in New York, presenting "flirty messages and nude pictures" that the woman allegedly sent to the brothers after her claimed attack. Despite the intense legal battle and the brothers being held without bail at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, their attorneys affirm they remain "strong." Denaro stated, "What choice do they have other than to stand and fight these accusations, which are eight, sometimes 12 years old with no physical evidence?" The Alexander brothers are scheduled to go to trial in January 2026.
