Oren, Alon, and Tal Alexander, prominent brothers known in luxury real estate in Miami and New York City, are facing grave accusations of rape and sexual assault. Over 60 alleged victims, including a minor, have come forward with claims dating back to 2009. The brothers have pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges, with their defense attorneys vehemently denying any wrongdoing and suggesting the accusations are fabricated.

Federal prosecutors accuse the brothers of working in concert to drug, sexually assault, and rape dozens of victims between 2009 and 2021. Allegations include promising women luxury experiences in exchange for sex. The stories shared by the alleged victims are described as “eerily similar,” often involving women being drugged or consuming excessive alcohol to a state of incapacitation, rendering them unable to consent.

The defense, represented by attorneys Edward O’Donnell and Joel Denaro, maintains there is “zero physical evidence” supporting the claims, as many alleged victims did not go to the hospital for rape kits. They question the timing of the accusations, noting that for 10 to 15 years, no one accused the brothers of anything inappropriate, but suddenly, all accusers emerged simultaneously through personal injury lawsuits seeking monetary compensation, rather than directly involving law enforcement. O’Donnell stated, “How is it possible for all of these women to come out at the exact same time? Every single one of ’em is suing for money. None of them went to law enforcement. They only went to personal injury lawyers, and that is how law enforcement got involved.”

Furthermore, the defense highlighted an email from December 2024 where an alleged victim asked a prosecutor for recommendations for lawyers handling the Alexander brothers’ case, explicitly stating, “I would like to sue.” O’Donnell interprets this as problematic, suggesting the prosecutor knew the personal injury lawyers involved. However, a representative for the District Attorney’s office clarified that the email indicating media-named attorneys handling civil lawsuits was a response to a direct question, not a referral.

Conversely, attorneys representing the alleged victims reject the defense’s characterization of their clients as opportunistic. Carissa Peebles, an attorney for one woman, stated her client had
