The brothers, Oren, Tal, and Alon Alexander, are accused of being serial sexual predators, along with their cousin Ohad Fisherman, who is currently still at large. Federal investigators allege the group committed violent sexual acts against dozens of victims, leveraging their wealth and access to luxury properties to facilitate their horrific crimes.
The Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s office has accused Oren Alexander, 38, and Tal Alexander, 37, the co-founders of a luxury real estate company called Official, along with their brother Alon Alexander, 37, of drugging and sexually assaulting dozens of women over the past decade.
The prosecutors say the brothers would often invite women to parties or trips, where they would then rape them, sometimes even on the same day they met. They would sometimes offer the victims travel or concert tickets after the assaults as a twisted way to cover their tracks.
The brothers are facing some serious consequences for their alleged actions. They each face one count of sex-trafficking conspiracy and one count of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion. Tal Alexander is also facing an additional count of sex trafficking. If convicted, they could be sentenced to life in prison.
“The defendants used their wealth and positions to create and facilitate opportunities to sexually assault women,” said Damian Williams, the Manhattan U.S. Attorney. “This office is determined to investigate and prosecute anyone who engages in sex trafficking, no matter how powerful or wealthy or famous you may be.
“The brothers have also been sued in civil court over sexual assault allegations in the past, but they have denied all of the accusations. However, the media reports that the new federal charges paint a very disturbing picture of their alleged criminal activities.
This case is just the latest in a series of high-profile sex-trafficking prosecutions by the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s office. They have previously secured the conviction of Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell and brought charges against hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.
It’s a shocking and disturbing story, but it’s a important reminder that no one is above the law, no matter how wealthy or powerful they may be. The authorities are sending a clear message that they will not tolerate this kind of criminal behavior, and that they will do everything in their power to protect vulnerable victims.
