Who Are the Alexander Brothers?
Twins Oren and Alon and their brother Tal lived privileged lives since birth.
Their parents, Shlomo and Orly Alexander, immigrated from Israel and founded the private security company Kent Security Services in Miami in 1982. Shlomo also brought in money through extravagant real estate dealings.
Oren and Tal went on to become some of the country’s most successful luxury real estate brokers, often facilitating multimillion dollar deals. They first got their start with high-end real estate firm Douglas Elliman before splitting off to start their own firm, Official, in 2022.
Up until their arrests, Oren would spend most of his time in Miami, while Tal predominantly lived in New York City.
But before the brothers rose to prominence in their respective work sectors, the trio attended high school in Miami, where it’s believed the sexual assaults first began, per court documents.
‘Running Train’
Multiple women alleged they were drugged and raped or gang raped by groups of high school boys that included at least one of the brothers, beginning in the early 2000s, prosecutors said. Afterward, the perpetrators would boast about “running train” on their victims and wanting to “do it again,” court records read.
The Alexander siblings continued their illicit activities after college and into adulthood where they relied on a “similar playbook” to traffic and sexually assault their victims, according to the government docs.
“It required a lot of planning and calculation,” former federal prosecutor and president of West Coast Trial Lawyers Neama Rahmani tells A&E Crime + Investigation. "They used their wealth and their connections to attract women and rape them.”
The Alexanders would entice their victims with travel and luxury accommodations and coordinate with promoters to have them attend private parties at their vacation properties.
Oren, Alon and Tal, “alone, together and with others, drugged and forcibly raped or sexually assaulted their victims,” prosecutors wrote in court filings. Several victims were “unable to move or even speak and some suffered significant gaps in their memories.”
Rahmani described the brothers’ crimes as “the worst-kept secret in Florida and New York.”
Dozens of Victims Come Forward
In December 2024, the Alexander brothers were arrested on charges of sex trafficking after dozens of victims came forward with allegations of rape as far back to 2010—all with similar stories of their attacks.
Tal, Oren and Alon pleaded not guilty.
“You see this common plan,” Rahmani points out. “They're [the brothers] communicating with these intermediaries. They're recruiting the victims. They're passing on travel plans. They're giving them [the victims] drinks, and it's just the same pattern every time.”
During a week-long trial that commenced in late January 2026, 11 women testified against their attackers.
“It can be challenging in these cases when you have victims that don't report right away,” he says. “The way you get around that is you overwhelm the defense with the sheer number of victims, and that's what the prosecution did here.”
The defense argued the women were motivated by money, citing several civil lawsuits, but the jury didn’t buy it, and in March 2026, the Alexander brothers were convicted of 10 charges, including conspiracy to commit sex trafficking.
Rahmani says he feels for the victims, "especially the victims that had the strength to tell their story in front of 12 strangers. That's very powerful.”
Sentencing is slated for August 2026; the brothers will face up to life in prison. They plan to appeal.
"We believe in our clients' innocence and we're not going to stop fighting until we prevail, and we believe that we will one day prevail," defense attorney Marc Agnifilo told reporters outside the courthouse.
Still, Rahmani believes the brothers’ chances of appeal are slim, given the sheer number of victims who testified.
He says their best bet may be clemency from the White House, which they are reportedly exploring.
“The only real chance of freedom for the Alexander brothers isn’t a successful appeal, but a presidential pardon because of the family’s connection with President Trump,” he says.
Rahmani adds, “They thought that they were above the law. I really think they’re monsters.”
