Amid the scandal, Tal Alexander’s wife, Arielle Kogut, has filed for divorce.

Upcoming Legal Proceedings
The Alexander brothers have been charged with conspiracy to commit sex trafficking and a separate count of sex trafficking at least one woman by force, fraud, or coercion. Tal Alexander faces an additional charge for trafficking a second victim.
The brothers are currently being held in federal custody and are likely to be housed at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where high-profile inmates such as Sean “Diddy” Combs and Sam Bankman-Fried are also being held. A status conference for the case is scheduled for January 29.
