Twin brothers Oren and Alon Alexander, along with their elder brother Tal Alexander, are facing multiple state and federal charges, including sex trafficking and rape. The three brothers, prominent international real estate brokers based in New York and Miami, were arraigned last month at the Richard E. Gerstein Justice Building in Miami and are now in federal custody.
The judge criticized a lawyer who argued a woman can’t be incapacitated if she can still stand up.
A judge in Manhattan denied bail on Wednesday for the Alexander brothers in their federal sex trafficking case. The judge says the brothers are all a flight risk and could also present a danger if released.
They will remain in-jail in Miami pending their trial.
Allegations of Long-Standing Abuse
According to the indictment filed in December, prosecutors allege that the Alexander brothers “worked together, and with others known and unknown, to repeatedly and violently drug, sexually assault, and rape” victims in New York, Miami, and other locations. The indictment claims the alleged sex trafficking conspiracy began in 2010, though accusations of sexual violence date back more than 20 years to their high school years in Miami.
