Against the glitzy backdrop of Miami Beach luxury, a far more sinister picture has emerged involving the Alexander brothers, with prosecutors bringing forth evidence of sexual assault and trafficking dating back to the early 2000s. As previously reported by CBS News New York, federal prosecutors allege that Alon, Oren, and Tal Alexander are connected to sexual assaults of more than 40 women. Recent discoveries during a raid on Tal Alexander's New York City apartment are said to include videos that graphically demonstrate these allegations.
In a court filing before a decisive detention hearing, the prosecutors presented new evidence that, according to PEOPLE, shows the brothers engaging in—or recording—sexual acts with women who appeared intoxicated, unconscious or, unaware they were being filmed. These recorded incidents seem to unveil not only non-consensual acts but also instances where victims were incapacitated by substances, raising the gravity of charges against the high-profile trio.
"Violently raped" are the words federal prosecutors used to describe what dozens of women experienced over nearly two decades at the hands of the Alexander brothers, as PEOPLE reported. The ordeal paints a harrowing portrait of alleged abuse leveraged against victims that prosecutors say were lured with promises of opulence and material gifts, only to be subdued and assaulted.
The forthcoming hearing, set for this afternoon in federal court in New York City, will weigh heavily on whether the brothers, who deny the charges, should be held pending trial. Tal Alexander, an eminent figure in luxury real estate, his twin, Oren, and their brother, Alon, who is linked to the family security business, claim innocence despite the mounting evidence suggesting otherwise, as reported by PEOPLE. The decision from this hearing will be pivotal, potentially impacting not only the brothers' liberty but also the broader conversation on accountability and wealth's intersection with criminal justice.
Among the videos discussed, one particularly troubling piece of evidence allegedly captures a woman objecting to being filmed while engaged in a sexual act. Another video is said to doubly implicate the brothers, featuring a woman voicing distress upon realizing she's being recorded, pleading "no" and objecting to the invasion of privacy, as reported by CBS New York.
