United States of America v. Tal, Oren and Alon Aexander

New York, New York, criminal defense lawyers represented the Defendants charged with sex trafficking, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1594, and coercion or enticement of females, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 2422.

From at least in or about 2008, up to and including at least in or about 2021, Alon Alexander, age 39, of Miami, Florida, Tal Alexander, age 40, of Miami, Florida, and Oren Alexander, age 39, of Miami, Florida, (Alexander Brothers) worked together and with others to engage in sex trafficking, including by repeatedly drugging, sexually assaulting, and raping numerous female victims. The ALEXANDER BROTHERS, who resided primarily in New York and Miami, Florida, possessed considerable social and financial connections, including through OREN ALEXANDER and TAL ALEXANDER’s positions as prominent real estate agents focused on ultra-luxury markets. The ALEXANDER BROTHERS used that wealth and prominence to create and facilitate opportunities to sexually assault women.

Beyond leveraging their resources and clout, the ALEXANDER BROTHERS also deployed deception and fraud to cause victims to travel with them or meet them in private locations for various trips and events. The ALEXANDER BROTHERS and others identified women to invite to these events through, among other things, social media, dating applications, in person encounters, or through the use of party promoters who would recruit women for these events.

The ALEXANDER BROTHERS used the promise of luxury experiences, travel, and accommodations to lure and entice women to these events, and then—on multiple occasions—drugged and forcibly raped or sexually assaulted women who attended. At times, multiple men, including one or more of the ALEXANDER BROTHERS, participated in these assaults. In some instances, the defendants physically restrained and held down their victims during the rapes and sexual assaults and ignored their victims’ cries and explicit requests to stop.

In preparation for these events, the ALEXANDER BROTHERS and others procured drugs that they agreed to provide to the women, including sedative-hypnotic drugs that can be used to facilitate sexual assaults. On multiple occasions during these events and trips, the ALEXANDER BROTHERS and others surreptitiously drugged victims’ drinks. Some of the victims experienced symptoms of impaired physical and mental capacity, including limitations of movement and speech and incomplete memories of events. This prevented the victims from being able to fight back or escape during the rapes and sexual assaults.

The agreement between the ALEXANDER BROTHERS encompassed numerous other acts of sexual violence in addition to the sexual assaults during planned trips and events. On these occasions, one or more of the ALEXANDER BROTHERS also drugged and raped or sexually assaulted women they encountered, including women they met at bars and nightclubs, social events, and on dating applications.

The Defendants were found guilty and were sentenced to 30 years each in federal prison.
