A pair of real estate agents who cater to extremely wealthy clients, and their private security executive brother, have been arrested and federally charged with sex trafficking crimes after prosecutors say they used “their wealth and positions to create and facilitate opportunities to sexually assault women.”
Tal Alexander and Oren Alexander on Sept. 20, 2016 in New York City.
Tal, Alon and Oren Alexander were arrested in Miami Wednesday and charged in federal court in New York with three counts of sex trafficking, according to a recently unsealed indictment.
Tal and Oren Alexander, once top real estate agents, and their brother Alon, are accused of using travel, luxury accommodations and other lures to draw dozens of women to isolated locations and then gang rape them.
The Alexander brothers are accused of running a sex trafficking venture for more than a decade, from 2010 to 2021, that stretched from Miami to New York City.
Some women were allegedly enticed to be alone with one or more of the brothers under the guise of starting a relationship, others were participants in trips and events organized months in advance and others still were chosen at random, and sometimes assaulted within hours of meeting, the indictment alleges.
The men are accused of using cocaine, mushrooms and GHB, a "date-rape" drug mentioned in dozens of sexual assault lawsuits filed against Sean "Diddy" Combs, to impair women in their company.
The charges come after the brothers were accused of rape in lawsuits filed in March and June of this year.This is a developing story and will be updated.
