A third indictment was filed against former luxury brokers Tal and Oren Alexander and their brother, private security executive Alon Alexander, in the federal sex-trafficking case against them on Tuesday, which brings the total number of counts against the brothers up to 10.
The brothers now face one count of conspiracy to commit sex-trafficking; five counts of sex-trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; one count of sex-trafficking of a minor by force, fraud or coercion; two counts of inducement to travel to engage in unlawful sexual activity; and the new count of aggravated sexual abuse by force, threat or intoxicant.
The count added to the superseding indictment alleges that Alon and Oren used force to administer a “drug, intoxicant or other substance” to a seventh female victim who was unaware that she was being intoxicated in order to control her and cause her to engage in sexual acts while “on a Bahamian flagged cruise ship which departed from and arrived in the United States.” The previous indictment against them had identified six victims, one of whom was a minor.
The new indictment further states that as a result of the alleged offenses in the new count against them, Oren and Alon are to forfeit any real and personal property that was used or intended for use to commit the offense, “including but not limited to a sum of money in United States currency representing the amount of proceeds traceable to the commission of said offenses.”
The Alexander brothers were arrested on conspiracy to commit sex trafficking and sex trafficking charges in Miami in December 2024. A superseding indictment submitted by prosecutors in May added six new charges against them.
All three brothers have denied the charges against them.
A lawyer representing Alon told Inman in an emailed statement that, “The government continues to move backwards — the latest charge changes absolutely nothing and is merely a reheated version of the same case in an effort to keep the media firestorm going against the brothers.”
Another lawyer for Alon pointed Inman to a polygraph test that he passed in January while denying had ever had sex with a woman he knew had been given drugs.
Lawyers representing Oren and Tal did not immediately respond to Inman’s request for comment for this story, but after the superseding indictment was filed in May, attorneys for Tal said the new indictment “changes nothing,” and that it was “a reheated version of the same case — and still does not include conduct that amounts to federal sex trafficking.”
At that time, a lawyer for Oren told Inman that, “These new accusations, like the previous ones, are meritless, and reflect a failed prosecutorial effort to salvage a factually and legally unfounded case built on readily disprovable claims.”
Oren and Alon, as well as family friend Ohad Fisherman, also face state rape charges in Florida. Oren has been charged with three counts of sexual battery and Alon and Fisherman have been charged each with one count of sexual battery.
Several civil lawsuits submitted by dozens of women are also outstanding against the Alexander brothers in New York State and elsewhere. The majority of the lawsuits were filed in New York under an extension of a city law that allowed alleged victims of gender-motivated violence to sue their supposed perpetrators, no matter how long ago the alleged act of violence occurred. Victims were allowed to file lawsuits through the end of February 2025.
The brothers are currently being held in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.
