Oren, Alon, and Tal Alexander, three brothers renowned as luxury real estate figures in Miami and New York City, are facing grave 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 currently being held without bail at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, awaiting trial in January 2026.

Their defense attorneys, Edward O’Donnell and Joel Denaro, have exclusively told In Touch that they believe the claims made by the accusers, their personal injury lawyers, and prosecutors may be fabricated and financially motivated. O’Donnell stated that it is no coincidence that for 10 to 15 years, no one had accused the brothers of inappropriate behavior, yet all accusers came forward simultaneously through personal injury lawsuits. He emphasized, “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.” Denaro further questioned the “mathematical possibilities” of such a synchronized emergence of accusations. The defense also asserts there is “zero physical evidence from any of the accusers” and that none went to the hospital for rape kits, concluding, “There’s zero evidence whatsoever that the assaults occurred.”

The defense highlighted 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 claims this shows the prosecutor knew the personal injury lawyers involved in civil suits against the brothers. While the D.A.’s office responded with names and emails of lawyers, a representative stated to In Touch that the “e-mail indication of the media-named attorneys handling the civil lawsuits is a response to a direct question, not a referral.” In July, the legal team for Oren and Alon Alexander filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit in New York, citing “flirty messages and nude pictures” sent by the woman after her alleged attack.

Conversely, federal prosecutors allege 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, often promising luxury experiences in exchange for sex. Miami Herald reporter Ana Claudia Chacin, who has spoken to several alleged victims, notes that their stories are “eerily similar,” describing incidents where women were drugged or consumed excessive alcohol, becoming incapacitated and unable to consent. Chacin has spoken to women from various life stages, including those who experienced incidents as far back as 2011 when the brothers began as real estate agents.

Many alleged victims offer reasons for their delayed reporting, including shame, fear of not being believed, and apprehension due to the brothers’ social status and wealth. Lindsey Acree told the Miami Herald that she initially sought to file a lawsuit anonymously to avoid being “known for” her assault. An anonymous woman told NBC6, “If my decision to speak out encourages even one person to share their own truth… then this effort will have been worth it.” Chacin suggests a “domino effect,” where one or two women coming forward with lawsuits empowered others to share their stories, some keeping memories “in little boxes” for years. One woman attempted to report her assault to the police but was allegedly dismissed because she had willingly consumed what she believed was laced marijuana and was denied a rape kit at the hospital.

Maria Suska, one of Oren’s accusers whose case is outside Florida’s statute of limitations, chose to speak out exclusively to In Touch about an alleged assault in 2014. She described meeting Oren via Facebook, being invited to dinner at the Versace mansion with ten other women, and then being attacked in a watchtower after he asked her to go upstairs. Suska admitted she didn’t file a police report immediately due to fear and self-blame, but eventually filed one last December. She expressed shock but belief in the other women’s stories, having thought she was alone in her experience. Attorneys representing alleged victims have countered the defense’s claims of opportunism, stating, “It is both 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. Absent a time machine where the victims could change their fate and erase the horrors they suffered, the alternative remains holding the Alexanders financially accountable for the lives they have ruined.”

Despite the severe accusations and ongoing legal proceedings, the Alexander brothers’ attorneys maintain their clients’ innocence. O’Donnell concluded, “Oren’s a very strong person. He’s a very courageous person. He knows that he didn’t do anything wrong. As Mr. Denaro said, they have no choice but to sit and fight, and they will.”
