Alexander Brothers Raped More Than 60 Women: Prosecutors
The prosecutor said that a “substantial” amount of evidence had been found.
Miami Herald/TNS
All three Alexander brothers are pleading “not guilty” after prosecutors accused the trio of raping more than 60 women.
Luxury real estate brokers Tal, 38, and Oren, 37—once featured on the TV show Million Dollar Listing—were arrested in Miami alongside their brother Alon, 37, on federal sex trafficking charges in December. The brothers arrived together at court in Manhattan on Friday to enter their plea. In their indictment, prosecutors said that for over a decade, all three worked together to “repeatedly and violently drug, sexually assault, and rape dozens of victims.”
“Oren Alexander pleaded not guilty today because he is innocent, as a polygraph examination has already revealed,” Richard Klugh, Oren’s attorney, said in a statement. “Oren looks forward to further establishing his innocence.”
An attorney for Alon also said his client’s innocence had been “corroborated by a lie detector test.”
Prosecutors indicated they would file more charges after claiming that more than 60 women were raped by at least one of the Alexanders. Prosecutor Elizabeth Espinosa said the office had surfaced a “substantial” amount of evidence from alleged victims and the trio’s devices, social media accounts, and iCloud data.

In January, one of the prosecutors said that investigators found hard drives in Tal’s closet that had “a large quantity of sexually explicit videos and photos” featuring the three men with drunk and naked women who, prosecutors say, were unaware they were being filmed.
Prosecutors have said that the alleged crimes dated back to when the men were teens.
“Evidence from the investigation, including multiple victim and witness accounts, shows that the Alexander Brothers began engaging in acts of sexual violence, including gang rapes, while still in high school in Miami, Florida,” prosecutors wrote in December.
The trial is scheduled for next January, and the next hearing is scheduled for July. If convicted, the brothers face 15 years to life in prison.
