Oren, Alon, and Tal Alexander, brothers renowned as 'kings' in the luxury real estate markets of Miami and New York City, are currently facing grave accusations of rape and sexual assault from over 60 alleged victims, including a minor. The brothers have pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges, with their trial slated for January 2026. They are presently held without bail at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.

The legal team for the Alexander brothers, comprised of attorneys Edward O’Donnell and Joel Denaro, asserts that the claims are fabricated and orchestrated by personal injury lawyers for financial gain. O’Donnell explicitly stated in an interview with In Touch Investigates that 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 further questioned the “mathematical possibilities” of all accusers coming forward simultaneously, none initially approaching law enforcement directly.

The defense also highlights a significant lack of physical evidence. O’Donnell stated there is “zero [physical] evidence from any of the accusers that I’m aware of,” noting that victims allegedly did not seek rape kits at hospitals. He reiterated, “There’s zero evidence whatsoever that the assaults occurred.” The defense points to an email from December 2024, where an alleged victim asked a prosecutor for recommendations for lawyers working on the Alexander brothers’ case, specifically stating, “I would like to sue.” O’Donnell claims this indicates the prosecutor facilitated contact with personal injury lawyers pursuing civil cases, though a District Attorney’s office representative clarified that the email was a “response to a direct question, not a referral.”

Conversely, those supporting the alleged victims offer counter-arguments regarding the delayed reporting and nature of the accusations. Federal prosecutors allege that Oren (39), Alon (38), 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, noted that their stories are “eerily similar,” describing incidents where women were drugged or heavily intoxicated to the point of incapacitation, rendering them unable to consent.

Accusers and their representatives explain the delay in coming forward with powerful reasons, including shame, fear of not being believed, and apprehension due to the brothers’ social status and wealth. Lindsey Acree, one alleged victim, told the Miami Herald that she initially sought to file a lawsuit anonymously to avoid being “known for” her assault. Carissa Peebles, an attorney for another woman, stated her client felt “a lot of fear” due to the brothers’ societal standing. Many accusers cite a “domino effect,” where one or two women speaking out empowered others to share their stories, some filing civil suits or speaking to the press after years of keeping their experiences “in little boxes.”

Maria Suska, one of Oren’s accusers whose case is outside Florida’s statute of limitations, shared her detailed account of an alleged assault at a Miami party in 2014. She described being invited by Oren to the Versace mansion, only to find several other women present. She later accepted his invitation upstairs to a watchtower, where she claims he attacked her. Suska admitted she didn’t file a police report at the time due to fear and self-blame, eventually doing so last year in December, expressing shock but belief in the other women’s stories, having previously thought she was alone in her experience. Additionally, one woman reportedly attempted to report her assault to the police but was dismissed, and denied a rape kit at the hospital, because she had willingly consumed what she believed was laced marijuana.

An attorney for one of the alleged victims criticized the defense's strategy, 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.”

In July, Oren and Alon Alexander’s legal team filed a motion to dismiss a New York lawsuit, presenting
