Real estate brokers to ultrawealthy Tal and Oren Alexander indicted in NYC for sex trafficking
Dec 11, 2024
Real estate brokers to the ultra-wealthy Tal and Oren Alexander and their brother, Alon Alexander, were indicted by a federal grand jury on conspiracy and sex trafficking charges in Manhattan, authorities said Wednesday.
The feds allege the brothers “repeatedly and violently” sexually assaulted and raped dozens of victims beginning in 2010 until at least 2021, often selecting them ahead of time and arranging to fly them to various locations.
The indictment, coming on the heels of a batch of related civil lawsuits, alleges that before assaulting women, they often drugged them – including with mushrooms and GHB – to prevent them “from fighting back or escaping” and that the brothers often planned the attacks in advance and sometimes committed them spontaneously.
In graphic detail, the indictment accuses the brothers of violent and sadistic attacks, taking turns with their victims who they took to “isolated locations, physically restraining victims while raping and sexually assaulting them alone, together, and with other men, and ignoring victims’ explicit demands to stop.”
Twins Tal and Oren Alexander are real estate agents who have sold some of the most expensive properties in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles through their firm Official. Alon is an executive of a family-owned private security firm.

The brothers “used their wealth and positions to create and facilitate opportunities to rape and sexually assault women” in the U.S. and around the world, according to charging documents, and in particular used their prominent standing in the real estate industry to lure women to events to be sexually assaulted.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Damian Williams was expected to hold a press conference on the Alexander brothers’ arrest at 1 p.m. Their attorneys could not immediately be reached for comment.
