Oren, Alon, and Tal Alexander, three prominent brothers known as luxury real estate moguls in Miami and New York City, are currently at the center of a wide-ranging legal battle, accused by over 60 victims, including a minor, of rape and sexual assault. These alleged incidents reportedly span from 2009 to 2021. Federal prosecutors have alleged that the brothers "worked together and with others known and unknown to repeatedly and violently drug, sexually assault and rape dozens of victims," sometimes promising lavish experiences in exchange for sexual acts. The brothers have pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges and vehemently deny any wrongdoing.

The defense, led by attorneys Edward O’Donnell and Joel Denaro, strongly contests the accusations, suggesting they may be fabricated and financially motivated. O’Donnell highlighted the unusual timing of the claims, stating, "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." He further questioned why none of the accusers initially went to law enforcement directly, only engaging personal injury lawyers, which then led to law enforcement involvement. The defense also asserts a lack of physical evidence, with O’Donnell claiming there is "zero [physical] evidence from any of the accusers that I’m aware of," noting the absence of hospital visits for rape kits. A controversial email exchange was also presented, showing a prosecutor responding to an alleged victim's inquiry about lawyers by providing names of attorneys pursuing civil cases against the brothers, which the defense used to suggest a coordinated effort for financial gain. The District Attorney’s office, however, clarified this was a response to a direct question, not a referral.

Conversely, attorneys representing the alleged victims and media reporters have offered explanations for the delayed reporting and the nature of the accusations. Miami Herald reporter Ana Claudia Chacin, who has spoken to several alleged victims, observed the "eerily similar" stories, often involving women being drugged or incapacitated by alcohol, rendering them unable to consent. Victims' reluctance to come forward was attributed to deep-seated fear, shame, and the immense social and financial status of the Alexander brothers. Lindsey Acree, one woman, initially sought to file a lawsuit anonymously to avoid public scrutiny, while Carissa Peebles, an attorney representing another woman, noted her client's fear given the brothers' societal standing. The delayed outpouring of accusations is largely seen as a "domino effect," where the courage of one or two women to file lawsuits empowered others, who had suppressed their memories for years, to finally share their stories. One alleged victim recounted being dismissed by the police after attempting to report an assault, being told she "didn’t have a case" because she had willingly consumed marijuana, and was subsequently denied a rape kit at the hospital.

Maria Suska, an accuser whose case falls outside Florida's statute of limitations, shared her story with In Touch Investigates. She described being invited by Oren Alexander to dinner at the Versace mansion in 2014, where she found 10 other women and two promoters. She accepted Oren's invitation to go upstairs to a watchtower, where she claims he attacked her. Suska admitted to not filing a police report at the time due to fear and self-blame, only doing so last year in December, after seeing other women come forward. She found belief and solace in the collective accusations, stating, "All this time, I thought it was only me... So when I read that there’s other women coming out, I said, ‘Oh my gosh, this is shocking,’ but then it was believable, of course."

The legal proceedings are ongoing, with the Alexander brothers currently held without bail at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. Their trial is scheduled for January 2026. The defense has filed a motion to dismiss one lawsuit, presenting "flirty messages and nude pictures" allegedly sent by the accuser after the reported attack. Despite the challenges, the brothers' attorneys assert their clients' strength and determination to fight the accusations, which they describe as old and lacking physical evidence. An attorney for one of the alleged victims 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."
