The legal troubles of the Alexander brothers
The Alexander brothers have been accused in civil, state and federal cases of systematically raping and sex trafficking women in Florida, New York, Colorado, Mexico and Russia. Federal prosecutors say that more than 60 women, including a minor, have come forward. In December, the brothers were arrested in Miami by federal and local authorities, and are currently awaiting trial in Brooklyn’s federal detention center. All three brothers pleaded not guilty and their attorneys have denied the allegations.

Shlomo and Orly Alexander — the parents of three brothers accused of drugging and sexually assaulting dozens of women — are named as defendants for the first time in the latest civil lawsuit filed against the wealthy Miami Beach siblings.
Five women say they were assaulted and raped by one or more of the brothers: Oren, Alon and Tal Alexander. The lawsuit was filed on Friday in the Supreme Court of the state of New York. One woman said she was sex-trafficked.
“Defendants Shlomo Alexander and Orly Alexander enabled the Alexander Brothers by providing them with money, property, and other resources that were used to sexually abuse, assault, batter, drug, and rape women including plaintiffs herein,” the lawsuit reads.
The three brothers were arrested in December 2024 in their Miami Beach homes after an FBI investigation resulted in sex-trafficking charges against them. Along with the new lawsuit, the brothers face more than 20 civil suits accusing one or more of them of rape or sexual assault.

Also named as defendants are Kent Security Services, the family company where Alon was a vice president; New York-based Douglas Elliman Realty LLC; its parent company, Douglas Elliman Inc., where Oren and Tal worked; and former Douglas Elliman CEO Howard Lorber.
The lawsuit was brought under the New York Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Law, which allows someone to file charges after a gender-motivated assault. The window for victims to file under the law was set to close on Friday, Feb. 28. Each of the defendants, according to the suit, “directed, enabled, participated in, and/or conspired with the Alexander Brothers in the commission of crimes of violence motivated by gender against plaintiffs.”
“All defendants herein enabled, facilitated, participated in, and/or were part of the Alexander Brothers sex trafficking ring that was based in New York, New York, but also including sexually abusing women in the Hamptons, Martha’s Vineyard, Miami, and other places,” the lawsuit reads.
Attorneys for the brothers in the federal and civil cases have said their clients are innocent. Deanna Paul, a lawyer who represents Tal Alexander, called the new lawsuits “another example of attorneys trying to drum up business hours before the law is set to expire.”
“These so-called accusers emerged with never-before-heard claims only after reading about lawsuits seeking large sums, and now they name not only Tal, but also his parents,” she said in a statement to the Miami Herald. “It is outrageous and nothing more than an orchestrated money grab that followed a multi-month social media campaign.”
The Alexander brothers are being held in a Brooklyn federal detention center without bond.
The suit, which names three women and two “Jane Does,” states Kent Security should have stopped Alon from sexually abusing women. Along with Douglas Elliman, the former employers “owed a duty to control the acts and conduct of the Alexander Brothers to prevent foreseeable harm.”
‘Covered in vomit’
In a statement from Kent Security, a spokesperson said Alon’s employment with the company ended on the day that he was arrested.
“None of the allegations alleged in the Complaint relate to scope of service Kent provides,” the statement reads. “At no time during his tenure were there any allegations or incidents suggesting inappropriate behavior or unwelcome advances towards others.”
Kent Security was founded by the brothers’ parents, Shlomo and Orly, in 1982. The parents and the company “had a duty to stop defendant Alon Alexander from sexually abusing, assaulting, battering, drugging and/or raping women but did nothing to stop it,” the lawsuit reads.
The lawsuit also claims that Kent Security provided “money and other resources” to the brothers, who used those items to sex-traffick, drug, assault and rape women.
Douglas Elliman is accused in the lawsuit of “facilitating, covering up and empowering Oren Alexander and Tal Alexander to commit sexual assaults.” Kent Security is accused of doing the same for Alon.
The real estate firm “knew or reasonably should have known” that the two brothers “had a propensity to engage in sexual misconduct and would use their position and power to lure Plaintiffs under the guise of their supposed prestige and success to sexually abuse, assault, batter, drug, rape and otherwise sexually abuse them.”
One agent, the lawsuit said, was “found on the street covered in vomit” in 2010 after all three Alexander brothers assaulted her.
Oren started working as a broker with Douglas Elliman in 2008 and Tal joined him in 2012, according to the men’s LinkedIn profiles. They both left the firm in 2022 when they started their own real estate firm, which is called Official.
Lorber, the former CEO and chairman of Douglas Elliman, “provided money, resources and corporate cover to the Alexander Brothers to sexually abuse, assault, batter, rape and/or otherwise sexually abuse women,” the lawsuit states.
Lorber could not be immediately reached for comments.
The lawsuit states that an agent told Lorber she was assaulted in 2012 by the brothers. It also states the brothers would sexual assault, drug and rape women at company parties and events.
Together, the parents and two former employers ”created the opportunity for [women] to be dehumanized and violated.”
“As alleged in today’s lawsuit, these defendants were complicit or enabled the Alexander Brothers’ sexual abuse of these women, which is actionable under New York law,” said Jordan Merson, an attorney for the five women.
Richard Klugh, an attorney for Oren, said in a statement that the lawsuits were “unsupported, uncorroborated claims in hopes for a pot of gold.”
“We now know just how low plaintiffs’ lawyers can go: suing the parents!” he said.
‘Savagely drugged’
The five women who brought forward the lawsuit describe being raped and assaulted by one or more of the brothers in Manhattan, the Hamptons and Miami between 2009 and 2017.
One woman, Samantha Nicholson, said she was raped in a hot tub in the Hamptons by all three brothers in 2009. Later, she was locked in a bedroom in their New York apartment and raped again.
Another woman — identified as “Jane Doe 1” — also describes a Hamptons incident in which she was “savagely drugged and raped” in 2011 by Tal Alexander. The lawsuit said she has pictures from that night and went to a hospital.
In 2012, Milena Koste, another plaintiff, was raped by the twins, Oren and Alon, in a bathroom after a house party in New York, according to the lawsuit.
The next year, a woman named Thaty Bruczynski was drugged and raped by Alon in his Manhattan apartment around June 2013, the lawsuit states. She was also sex-trafficked, according to the lawsuit, and later raped again by the twins.
Howard Srebnick, an attorney for Alon Alexander and his parents, called the filings against Alon “another example of unsupported accusations by women demanding untold amounts of money, who did not file a police report, did not seek medical attention, and did not sustain physical injuries.”
“Jane Doe 1” — who says she was raped by Tal Alexander — stated in the lawsuit that she went to a hospital “immediately thereafter.”
The most recent of the incidents occurred in Miami in 2017, according to the lawsuit, when Alon Alexander drugged and sexually assaulted a woman identified only as “Jane Doe 2.” Other men were present and the lawsuit says the woman believes she was “otherwise sexually abused, assaulted and battered” and videotaped.
Four other women filed lawsuits against one or more of the brothers this week, describing incidents in New York going back to 2010. One of them, Laura Buck, states in her lawsuit that she went to a hospital and police in 2010 after she was assaulted by Tal and Oren Alexander.
