The Alexander brothers, Tal (38), Oren (37), and Alon (37), prominent figures in the luxury real estate world, find themselves at the center of a disturbing federal indictment alleging a two-decade-long pattern of drugging, sexually assaulting, and raping dozens of women. The indictment, filed last week and obtained by Fox News Digital, paints a grim picture of calculated manipulation and brutal violence, with the brothers allegedly leveraging their affluent lifestyle and promises of lavish experiences to lure victims into vulnerable situations. Prosecutors contend that these assaults occurred across various locations, including New York, Miami, and the Hamptons, and involved both individual and multiple perpetrators. The brothers’ alleged crimes have shocked the real estate industry and beyond, casting a dark shadow over their previously celebrated careers and opulent lives.
The indictment details a chilling modus operandi employed by the brothers. They allegedly used the allure of luxury travel, high-end accommodations, and exclusive experiences to entice women. Once isolated, the victims were allegedly drugged, often with substances like GHB, commonly known as a “date rape” drug, rendering them incapacitated and unable to resist. The brothers then allegedly subjected their victims to violent sexual assaults and rapes, sometimes involving multiple assailants. The indictment further alleges that the brothers physically restrained their victims during the assaults, ignoring their pleas and cries for help. This calculated and predatory behavior, as outlined in the indictment, suggests a deeply disturbing pattern of abuse spanning many years.
The alleged crimes date back to the brothers’ high school years in Miami, according to a letter filed by prosecutors. The brothers, all graduates of college, eventually relocated to New York City while maintaining residences in Miami, splitting their time between the two cities. This mobility, coupled with their international travels, allowed them to broaden the scope of their alleged predatory activities. The letter filed by prosecutors reveals that the brothers planned and financed trips involving the interstate and international transportation of women on numerous occasions. This organized approach to their alleged crimes further underscores the seriousness of the charges against them.
The indictment and the accompanying letter from prosecutors offer chilling accounts from two of the alleged victims. One victim, identified as Victim-1, recounts being raped by Tal Alexander and another man in 2011 at the brothers’ vacation home in the Hamptons. Victim-1 reported being given a glass of wine that left her feeling unusually unwell. Her memory of the night is fragmented, but she distinctly recalls being held down by Tal while another man entered the room and being taken to a second location where a camcorder had been set up. Another victim, Victim-2, alleges being raped by Oren Alexander in 2016 after consuming a cocktail provided by him, which left her feeling disoriented and struggling to walk. She claims Alon Alexander then took her to a bedroom, and she later awoke to find Oren in the room, who then allegedly raped her while she was physically incapacitated and unable to resist.
Further evidence presented by prosecutors points to a trip to Tulum, Mexico, where the brothers and other individuals allegedly transported women for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Group WhatsApp messages, titled “Lions in Tulum,” reveal discussions among the men about “imports” of women, splitting the costs of travel and lodging for them, and providing them with drugs likely to increase their compliance. Oren Alexander’s messages in the chat, cited by prosecutors, show a callous disregard for the women involved, with him expressing a desire for “max returns” on their investment. The use of the term “G,” believed to refer to GHB, a known “date rape” drug, further strengthens the prosecution’s case against the brothers.
Tal and Oren Alexander co-founded the luxury real estate firm Official, operating in high-end markets such as New York City, the Hamptons, Miami, and Los Angeles. Prior to founding Official, the brothers built their careers at Douglas Elliman, one of the nation’s largest real estate brokerages. Their success culminated in the brokering of a nearly $240 million penthouse sale in 2019, marking the most expensive residential sale in U.S. history at the time. While Alon Alexander did not work in real estate, he socialized with his brothers, and all three resided in luxurious properties in Miami Beach and New York City. The brothers’ high-profile careers and affluent lifestyles are now juxtaposed with the serious allegations against them, raising questions about the potential impact on their professional and personal lives. Prosecutors have also alleged that Tal and Oren took steps to conceal their crimes and safeguard their reputations, including filing a false police report against a woman who accused them of sexual assault and threatening her with a defamation lawsuit. The brothers maintain their innocence and are prepared to fight the charges in court.
