Oren, Alon, and Tal Alexander, three brothers renowned as luxury real estate figures in Miami and New York City, are currently facing grave accusations of rape and sexual assault from over 60 alleged victims, including a minor. These alleged incidents reportedly date back to 2009. The brothers have pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges, with their trial scheduled for January 2026, and are currently held without bail at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.

Their attorneys, Edward O’Donnell and Joel Denaro, contend that the claims are fabricated and orchestrated by the alleged victims’ personal injury lawyers. They highlight the striking coincidence that for 10 to 15 years, no accusations were made, yet suddenly, all accusers came forward simultaneously through civil lawsuits seeking financial compensation, rather than directly involving law enforcement. O’Donnell explicitly states there is “zero physical evidence” from any accuser, citing a lack of hospital visits for rape kits. The defense also pointed to 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 the prosecutor then provided names and emails of attorneys pursuing civil cases against the brothers. However, a representative for the District Attorney’s office clarified that this was “a response to a direct question, not a referral.”

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. They claim the brothers allegedly promised women luxury experiences in exchange for sex. Miami Herald reporter Ana Claudia Chacin, who has interviewed several alleged victims, noted the “eerily similar” stories, where women were either drugged or consumed excessive alcohol, rendering them incapacitated and unable to consent.

The alleged victims and their attorneys offer a different perspective on the timing of these accusations. Many expressed fear and shame, as well as concern that they wouldn't be believed due to the brothers’ “status and wealth in society.” Lindsey Acree, for instance, initially sought to file anonymously to avoid being “known for” her assault. Carissa Peebles, an attorney for one woman, cited her client’s “lot of fear” about coming forward. Ana Claudia Chacin suggests a “domino effect,” where one or two women coming forward with lawsuits empowered others to share their stories years later. One woman recounted how she tried to report her assault to the police but was dismissed and denied a rape kit because she had “willingly consumed marijuana that she thinks was laced.”

Maria Suska, one of Oren’s accusers, shared her personal account, describing an alleged attack in a watchtower in 2014 after being invited to dinner with several other women. She initially didn’t file a police report due to fear and self-blame but eventually did so last year. Suska, whose case is not part of the legal proceedings due to Florida’s statute of limitations, was shocked but ultimately believed the stories of other women, realizing she wasn't alone. Victims' attorneys, such as Todd Poses, have condemned the defense’s characterization of victims as “opportunistic,” arguing that seeking civil remedies is a legitimate way to hold the Alexanders “financially accountable for the lives they have ruined.”

The legal battle continues, with the Alexander brothers’ legal team having filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit from one woman, citing “flirty messages and nude pictures” she allegedly sent to the brothers after the claimed attack. As the brothers remain incarcerated, their attorneys maintain that they are strong and will fight these accusations, some of which are over a decade old, despite the lack of physical evidence.
