According to an explosive federal indictment unsealed hours later in New York, the three brothers worked together since at least 2010 to "repeatedly and violently drug, sexually assault, and rape" dozens of victims between New York and Miami — arranging for many of the assaults "well in advance" by baiting women with luxury experiences and travel to lure them to places where one or more of the brothers raped or sexually assaulted them.
The indictment charges the brothers with one count of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking and two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion involving two separate victims. The indictment does not detail allegations pertaining to the two victims and, further, notes that the allegations described "[include] but [are] not limited to Victim-1 and Victim-2."
Often, the indictment alleges, the brothers drugged the victims before assaulting them, preventing them from fighting back or escaping.
The indictment claims they drugged women’s drinks and plied them with cocaine, mushrooms, and the date-rape drug GHB and physically restrained their victims during the rapes and sexual assaults, ignoring screams and pleas that they stop.
"The Alexander brothers used their wealth and positions to create and facilitate opportunities to rape and sexually assault women," states the indictment (attached below). "In particular, on multiple occasions, Oren Alexander and Tal Alexander used their prominent positions in the real estate industry to induce other women to attend events and parties, and to meet other women at those events and parties, whom one or more of the defendants later sexually assaulted."

According to the indictment, the brothers would share pictures of women and select those whom they found "sufficiently attractive" to invite on trips via social media or dating apps. They also are alleged to have worked with party promoters to arrange for women to attend events or travel with them in order to ensure that "there were a sufficient number of women present."
The indictment includes allegations that the brothers' actions included transporting or causing the women to be transported across state or international lines — a violation of the Mann Act, a longstanding federal statute prosecutors use to pursue sex-trafficking cases.
"The defendants and other men attending the trips pooled financial resources in order to pay for flights and other travel expenses for the women," the indictment reads.
Following the sexual assaults, according to the indictment, the brothers would sometimes offer their victims concert tickets and other luxury experiences.
In addition, the indictment alleges that the brothers drugged and raped or sexually assaulted women they met by chance, including at bars, nightclubs, and on dating applications.
The indictment was unsealed just hours after the brothers' arrests, which the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office (SAO) and Miami Beach Police Chief Wayne Jones are set to discuss during a press conference this afternoon in connection with a joint investigation into sexual-assault allegations that occurred in Miami Beach.
A video obtained by the Real Deal shows Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents outside Oren Alexander's Miami Beach home early Wednesday morning ordering him to come outside.
Sources told the real estate news site that the Miami-Dade SAO had been interviewing alleged victims in recent months.
As New Times previously reported, a series of pending civil lawsuits accuse Oren and his brothers of forcing three women into group sex in separate incidents in New York, dating back to 2010.
Two of the women filed sexual-assault lawsuits in March against Oren and his twin brother, Alon, claiming they were among the victims in a long history of abuse the brothers perpetrated. One of the women alleges that the twins trapped her in a "castle" in the Hamptons and sexually assaulted her in 2012; the second plaintiff claims the twins raped her two years earlier in their New York City apartment.
A third woman filed a civil case alleging that the twins' older brother, Tal Alexander, participated in the abuse. She claims Tal and Alon Alexander committed a "coordinated sexual assault" on her in Manhattan while Oren watched.
The scandal has rattled the luxury real estate market in Miami and New York, where Oren and Tal built a reputation as top agents for high-priced deals.
Update published 12/13/24: This morning, Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Lody Jean set a $3 million bond for the pretrial release of Oren Alexander and a $2 million bond for Alon Alexander in the Miami sexual battery case. However, the pair will remain in custody on the federal sex trafficking charges.
