A high-profile case against prominent real estate moguls took a significant new turn this week as federal prosecutors filed additional charges against Oren and Tal Alexander, along with their brother Alon, on May 8, 2025. The charges were part of a superseding indictment, which overrides the initial one, and included new allegations of sex trafficking, some of which involve a minor. This development has sent shockwaves through both the real estate world and the public, particularly as the Alexanders’ company, the Alexander Group, has long been known for its involvement in New York’s luxury real estate market.
The charges against the Alexander brothers, who are known for their high-profile deals with celebrity clients and lucrative transactions in New York, now include additional counts of sex trafficking, including one that involves a minor, identified in court documents as Minor Victim-3. The case initially made headlines late last year when the brothers were accused of luring women to nightclubs and parties, where they allegedly drugged and sexually assaulted them. The new superseding indictment adds six alleged victims to the list, bringing the total number of victims up to a troubling six individuals.
The Alexanders have vehemently denied the allegations, maintaining their innocence since the first set of charges was brought against them. The three brothers—Oren, 37, Tal, 37, and Alon, 39—have each pleaded not guilty to the initial charges, which included sex trafficking and drugging women with the intent to sexually assault them. Their legal teams continue to assert that the charges are without merit, and they are prepared to fight the case in court.
This new indictment includes disturbing new details. One of the most serious new charges involves Minor Victim-3, who, according to the indictment, was trafficked by the Alexander brothers despite them allegedly having a “reasonable opportunity” to observe that she was under the age of 18. This new allegation only adds to the severity of the case, as trafficking minors is a federal offense that carries heavy penalties.
The new charges have only heightened the media attention on the case, drawing significant public scrutiny and raising questions about the conduct of the Alexander brothers, who have made names for themselves in the world of real estate. Their company, Alexander Group, has been known for brokering high-profile deals for some of the wealthiest and most influential people in New York, including celebrities and corporate moguls. The allegations now surrounding the brothers have shaken the industry, where their reputation was once that of successful and respected business leaders.
In response to the new charges, the defense teams for the Alexander brothers have remained resolute in their stance of innocence. Attorneys for Tal Alexander, Milton Williams and Deanna Paul, dismissed the new charges as nothing more than a “reheated version of the same case.” They claimed that the superseding indictment changed nothing and asserted that the charges were unjustified. Williams and Paul emphasized that the brothers were merely facing the same accusations that had already been leveled against them, now with a few added details, but no new substantive evidence to support the claims.
Oren Alexander’s attorney, Richard Klugh, echoed similar sentiments, describing the new charges as misguided and without merit. Klugh insisted that the legal team would fight any new spins presented in the case. “We will fight any new spin offered in these charges and establish our client’s innocence as he has shown his willingness to do in passing a rigorous polygraph examination,” Klugh said in a statement. He pointed out that Oren had passed a polygraph test, a step the defense claims shows his commitment to proving his innocence.
Alon Alexander’s attorney, Howard Srebnick, also addressed the polygraph tests, asserting that Alon had passed a lie detector test administered by a former senior FBI polygraph examiner. Srebnick further claimed that, to the defense’s knowledge, no alleged accuser in the case had passed an FBI-administered lie detector test, implying that the credibility of the accusers was in question. Srebnick’s comments are part of a broader defense strategy that seeks to undermine the credibility of the government’s case against the Alexander brothers.
Despite the defense team’s assertions, federal prosecutors have remained tight-lipped on the matter. They have not responded directly to the defense’s claims of a “misguided prosecution” or the polygraph tests presented by the defense. Instead, they have continued to refer to the case as an ongoing investigation, signaling that more information and evidence may be forthcoming as the trial date approaches.
The case has not only rocked the real estate industry but has also drawn attention from legal experts and the public at large. Many are questioning how the brothers, who have built a multimillion-dollar business and established themselves as successful entrepreneurs, could be accused of such heinous acts. Some critics have suggested that the charges may have been influenced by the brothers’ status, while others argue that the severity of the allegations warrants careful and thorough investigation.
The trial is set to begin in January 2026, with a full arraignment on the new charges yet to be scheduled. The brothers are currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, awaiting trial. The legal teams for the Alexander brothers have indicated that they are prepared for a lengthy legal battle, one that will involve high-stakes arguments and could have far-reaching consequences for the future of the Alexander Group and its reputation.
The case also raises broader questions about the accountability of business leaders and the impact of legal challenges on the business world. As the brothers face accusations of serious criminal conduct, their business operations and relationships with clients may be severely impacted. The real estate industry, which has long been viewed as a realm of immense wealth and influence, now finds itself grappling with the implications of such serious charges against its key players.
The ongoing saga surrounding the Alexander brothers has captivated public attention, with new developments unfolding regularly. The addition of new charges, including the involvement of a minor, has added a new level of urgency to the case, as the federal government pushes forward with its prosecution. Legal observers are closely monitoring the case, as it could set a significant precedent for future sex trafficking cases, particularly those involving high-profile individuals in business and entertainment.
As the legal process continues to unfold, many are left wondering whether the Alexander brothers will be able to successfully clear their names or if the weight of the new charges will lead to a conviction. Regardless of the outcome, the case has already had a profound impact on the reputation of the brothers, their business, and the broader real estate industry in New York. In the coming months, as the trial date approaches, it is expected that even more details will emerge, shedding light on the complex and troubling allegations facing the Alexander brothers.
For now, the Alexander brothers’ legal teams remain committed to defending their clients, insisting that the charges are baseless and that the brothers will ultimately be vindicated. Meanwhile, federal prosecutors continue to build their case, with the hope of securing justice for the alleged victims. The stakes are high, and the outcome of this case could have far-reaching consequences for the individuals involved, as well as the public perception of the real estate industry. As the case progresses, it is clear that all eyes will remain on the courtroom to see how this high-profile trial unfolds.
