Brothers Oren, Alon, and Tal Alexander, once prominent figures in the real estate markets of New York City and Miami, are currently facing grave accusations of rape and sexual assault. More than 60 alleged victims, including a minor, have come forward with claims dating back to 2009. The real estate moguls have pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges, vigorously denying any wrongdoing.

Federal prosecutors formally accused the brothers in early June of conspiring to drug, sexually assault, and rape victims between 2009 and 2021, often allegedly luring women with promises of luxury experiences in exchange for sex. Miami Herald reporter Ana Claudia Chacin, who has interviewed several alleged victims, noted the “eerily similar” nature of their accounts. These stories frequently describe women being drugged or consuming excessive alcohol to a state of incapacitation, rendering them unable to give consent. Chacin also highlighted that some allegations date back to when the brothers began their careers as real estate agents in New York after college, indicating a long pattern of alleged behavior.

The timeline of these accusations, with many victims coming forward years after the alleged incidents, has been a point of contention. Chacin suggests a “domino effect,” where victims felt empowered to speak out as others shared their stories, overcoming prior shame, fear of not being believed, or even outright dismissal by authorities. One woman, for instance, reported attempting to report an assault but was allegedly dismissed by police who claimed she had “willingly consumed marijuana that she thinks was laced” and was denied a rape kit at the hospital. Another victim spoke of keeping memories in “little boxes” for years due to shame and fear, until civil lawsuits by others encouraged her to come forward.

Maria Suska is one such accuser who has chosen to speak out, despite her alleged assault in 2014 falling outside Florida's statute of limitations for legal proceedings against the brothers. Suska recounted to In Touch Investigates how Oren Alexander messaged her via Facebook in April 2014, leading to an invitation for dinner at the Versace mansion. Upon arrival, she found ten other unmentioned girls and two promoters at a large table. Suska described the “vibe” as “very weird and awkward” as Oren mostly interacted with other men. She claims Oren later asked her to go upstairs to the building's watch tower, and despite initially trusting him, she alleges he attacked her there. Suska admits she initially didn't file a police report due to fear and self-blame, but eventually did so in December of last year, feeling emboldened by the accounts of other women. “All this time, I thought it was only me,” she shared, emphasizing her shock but ultimate belief in the collective stories.

The Alexander brothers' legal team, led by attorneys Edward O’Donnell and Joel Denaro, has vehemently disputed the allegations. They argue that it is “no coincidence” that after 10 to 15 years without accusations, over 60 individuals suddenly came forward simultaneously, all through personal injury lawsuits seeking monetary compensation. O'Donnell stated that there is “zero evidence whatsoever that the assaults occurred” and questioned why none of the accusers initially went to law enforcement. In a move to dismiss one of the lawsuits, the legal team for Oren and Alon Alexander presented “flirty messages and nude pictures” that the accuser allegedly sent to the brothers after her claimed attack.

However, attorneys for the alleged victims have countered these claims, branding the defense's strategy of “name-calling the victims as opportunistic” as “predictable and pathetic.” They contend that given the victims cannot erase their past suffering, holding the Alexanders financially accountable for the “lives they have ruined” is the only viable alternative. Regarding Maria Suska's interaction with the Miami District Attorney’s office, where she sought a recommendation for a personal injury lawyer, the D.A.’s office clarified that their email indicating media-named attorneys was a direct response to a question, not a referral, pushing back against the defense’s suggestion of impropriety.

Oren, Alon, and Tal Alexander currently remain behind bars in New York City. Their high-profile trial is slated to commence in January 2026, where they will face the sex trafficking charges.
