Another charge has surfaced in the sex trafficking case against the Alexander brothers.
The Southern District of New York on Tuesday unsealed a third superseding indictment against disgraced brokers Oren and Tal Alexander and their brother, security executive Alon Alexander.
The document charges Oren and Alon with aggravated sex abuse by force or threat or intoxicant. The charge hinges on an alleged 2012 attack on a “Bahamian flagged cruise ship” that departed from and arrived to the United States. The indictment accuses the twin brothers of “administering a drug, intoxicant, or other substance” to a woman identified as Victim 7, without her knowledge and before forcing her to engage in a sexual act.
Prosecutors first indicted and arrested the Alexanders on sex trafficking and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking charges in December and tacked on more charges in May in a second superseding indictment. The latest indictment brings the total number of charges to 10.
All three Alexanders pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The previous version of the indictment included two charges of inducement to travel to engage in unlawful sexual activity and six sex trafficking charges. One of those charges, levied against Tal and Alon, involved a victim who was a minor at the time of the alleged attack.

Rape claims against Alexanders swell as New York law expires
In a filing related to Tal’s motion to dismiss, his attorneys say that a real estate broker rival of the Alexanders in Miami emailed her sister, a prosecutor in the state attorney’s office, in June 2024 after The Real Deal first reported on civil lawsuits alleging Oren and Alon raped women. The rival agent wrote, “I hope you guys can go after them.”
State prosecutors in Miami also charged Oren and Alon and their alleged accomplice Ohad Fisherman with sexual battery. Defense attorneys for the Alexanders and Fisherman filed a motion to dismiss the state case last week, alleging that the state failed to preserve key evidence, violating due process, by not attempting to secure a potential recording of an alleged rape mentioned by one of the women in her interview with a Miami Beach police detective.
Fisherman could stand trial the week of July 7. He is accused of holding down a woman during an alleged rape in 2016. The brothers and Fisherman pleaded not guilty to the charges. Oren and Alon will likely be tried in the state case after their federal trial.
The three brothers have been in federal custody since their arrests in December. They are being held at Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn awaiting their trial, which is expected to begin in January 2026.

Editor’s note: The Real Deal was named in a lawsuit by the three brothers alleging defamation for its reporting on lawsuits and allegations against them beginning June 8, 2024. Publisher Amir Korangy in a statement called the action a “frivolous and cynical attempt to weaponize the legal system.”
