Oren, Alon, and Tal Alexander, three brothers known as prominent luxury real estate figures in Miami and New York City, are currently facing serious 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 and vehemently deny any wrongdoing. They are currently being held without bail at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, with their trial scheduled for January 2026.

The defense attorneys for the Alexander brothers, 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. O’Donnell highlighted the timing of the accusations, 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 all accusers came forward simultaneously, all seeking financial compensation, and none initially went to law enforcement directly. Denaro echoed these sentiments, asking to consider the “mathematical possibilities” of such coordinated action.

In response to the defense’s claims, attorneys representing some of the alleged victims argue that seeking civil remedies is a legitimate course of action given the alleged harms. Todd Poses, an attorney for Maria Suska, and another attorney for an alleged victim, stated, “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.”

Many alleged victims have cited shame, fear of not being believed, or fear of the brothers’ status and wealth in society as reasons for their delay in coming forward. Lindsey Acree, for instance, initially sought to file a lawsuit anonymously to avoid being “known for” her assault. Carissa Peebles, an attorney for another woman, noted her client’s “lot of fear” due to the brothers’ societal standing. Miami Herald reporter Ana Claudia Chacin, who has spoken to several alleged victims, observed a “domino effect” where women felt more empowered to speak out as others shared their stories. She recounted one woman’s experience of keeping memories “in little boxes” for years due to shame and fear, finally coming forward after seeing others file lawsuits or speak to the press.

The prosecutors allege that Oren, 39, Alon, 38, and his twin brother Tal “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. The defense, however, asserts there is “zero [physical] evidence from any of the accusers,” noting that none reportedly went to the hospital for rape kits. O’Donnell explicitly stated, “There’s zero evidence whatsoever that the assaults occurred.”

A point of contention involves a prosecutor's communication with an alleged victim. O’Donnell presented an email from December 2024 where a woman asked a prosecutor for recommendations for lawyers in Miami handling the Alexander brothers’ case, stating, “I would like to sue.” O’Donnell claims the prosecutor responded with names and emails of lawyers pursuing civil cases, suggesting a coordinated effort between the prosecution and personal injury lawyers. A representative for the District Attorney’s office, however, clarified to In Touch that the email was a response to a direct question, not a referral.

Maria Suska, one of Oren’s accusers, shared her account of an alleged assault at a party in Miami in 2014, after Oren invited her to dinner at the Versace mansion. She describes a “weird and awkward” vibe, and later, an alleged attack in a watchtower. Suska admits she didn’t file a police report at the time due to fear and self-blame, but eventually did so in December of the previous year. Her case is not part of the current legal proceedings due to Florida’s statute of limitations. Suska expressed shock but belief in the other women’s stories when she saw the Alexander brothers in the news, realizing she wasn't alone. Similarly, one woman told Chacin that she tried to report her assault to the police but was dismissed, being told she didn’t have a case after willingly consuming what she believed was laced marijuana and was denied a rape kit at the hospital.

In July, the legal team for Oren and Alon Alexander filed a motion to dismiss a New York lawsuit from one of the women, presenting
