Alexander Brothers Convicted on Sex Trafficking Charges in Manhattan Federal Court
Three real estate brokers, including luxury property twins, were found guilty of sex trafficking after five-week trial involving testimony from 11 women.

Three brothers prominent in the luxury real estate industry were convicted Monday on sex trafficking charges following a five-week trial in Manhattan federal court. Tal Alexander, 39, and twins Oren and Alon Alexander, 38, were found guilty on all charges after a jury deliberated since Thursday.
Eleven women testified during the trial that they were sexually assaulted by one or more of the brothers. The women described incidents that occurred after being invited to upscale locations including the Hamptons, Caribbean cruises, and ski trips in Aspen, Colorado. Many witnesses testified they believed they had been drugged after being given alcohol by the brothers, describing feeling loss of control after consuming less than one drink.
Prosecutors alleged that more than 60 women total claim to have been assaulted by one or more of the brothers, though 11 testified at trial. The brothers allegedly met victims at nightclubs, parties, and through dating apps, often paying for flights and luxury accommodations. Evidence presented included text and email messages prosecutors said showed the brothers discussing their activities and the effects of drugs on women's inhibitions.
Oren and Tal Alexander previously worked as brokers at real estate firm Douglas Elliman before starting their own company, Official. Alon Alexander worked at the family's private security business. Defense attorneys argued that while the brothers were womanizers, any sexual activity was consensual and suggested accusers had faulty memories or financial motives.
The criminal case coincides with approximately two dozen civil lawsuits against the brothers. One lawsuit filed Thursday involves Tracy Tutor, a star of the Bravo show "Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles," who alleges she was drugged and assaulted by Oren Alexander at a New York restaurant during a real estate event. Multiple women have come forward since the initial lawsuits were filed, with some describing the brothers' alleged misconduct as an "open secret" in the real estate industry.
