NY federal judge denies bail for two real estate brokers and their brother in sex trafficking case Two luxury real estate brokers and their brother accused of raping dozens of women over more than a decade will remain in jail to await their trial on sex trafficking charges, a federal judge in New York City ruled Wednesday.
In an indictment unsealed last month and a detention letter, New York prosecutors alleged that Oren Alexander, 37, and Tal Alexander, 38, using their wealth and influence they gained by brokering deals on high-end properties in New York City, Miami and Los Angeles, teamed up with sibling Alon Alexander, 37, to rape and sexually abuse women from at least 2002 to 2021.
Judge Valerie E. Caproni heard bail arguments before agreeing with two federal magistrate judges in Florida who previously ruled that the three brothers should remain locked up as a danger to the community.
The indictment accused the brothers of using “deception, fraud and coercion” to entice victims to travel with them or attend parties and events before they were attacked.
At other times, prosecutors said in court papers, the men engaged in “opportunistic rapes and sexual assault of numerous victims who they encountered by chance.”.
