The sex-trafficking prosecution of luxury real estate brokers Tal and Oren Alexander and their brother Alon can move ahead after a federal judge on Tuesday rejected most of their attempts to get the charges tossed.
Manhattan federal Judge Valerie Caproni ruled the allegations against the brothers, who have been accused of dozens of instances of rape and sexual assault spanning more than a decade, are legally sound enough to proceed to trial.
The decision, originally issued Oct. 17 but kept under seal until Tuesday, is a major blow to the defense team’s strategy to derail the case before it ever reaches a jury.
More than 60 women have reported being sexually assaulted by at least one of the brothers, prosecutors say, and 11 new victims have come forward with civil lawsuits.
The brothers face 10 felony counts including conspiracy and sex trafficking.
They’ve pleaded not guilty and remain locked up since their December arrest.
Prosecutors allege the Alexanders conspired from 2009 through 2021 to drug, sexually assault and rape dozens of women — luring them with luxury hotel stays, international travel and access to exclusive events.
In some cases, victims were transported across state and international lines, then drugged and physically restrained before being raped, according to the indictment.
One woman said she met Oren Alexander at a luxurious Miami house party in 2018, where he offered to give her a tour of the property after striking up a conversation.
He led her to a bedroom, then “aggressively threw her onto the bed and forcibly sexually assaulted her,” according to her lawsuit.
In another incident, a woman said she was invited to a New York City house party by Tal Alexander in July 2013, where she was handed an alcoholic beverage and felt “lightheaded and disoriented.”
She says she was forcibly raped by Tal and Oren Alexander.
The brothers’ lawyers argued the charges were too vague, lacked specificity and in some cases were too old to prosecute.
Caproni didn’t buying most of it.
She did narrow one count — an attempted sex-trafficking charge from June 2009 — ruling it was barred by the statute of limitations.
But she left intact the actual sex-trafficking charge from the same incident, acknowledging the decision “may create an anomalous result.”
The judge also rejected the Alexanders’ requests to suppress evidence seized from one of the brothers’ New York apartments, from cloud storage files, and from a Facebook account.
That evidence will now be fair game at trial.
Authorities executed a warrant in December to search Tal Alexander’s apartment inside a skyscraper on Manhattan’s “Billionaire’s Row.”
During the search, multiple hard drives were discovered and seized, including one with a large quantity of sexually explicit videos and pictures, prosecutors say.
The seized videos show Alon and Oren Alexander and other men engaged in sexual contact with women “who are visibly under the influence of alcohol or other substances,” prosecutors wrote in a letter.
In some cases, at least one of the brothers and another man “physically manipulated the women’s bodies in order to have sex with them while the women did not actively participate in the sexual activity or turned away.”
The brothers were first arrested in Florida in December 2024 on an initial indictment charging one count of sex-trafficking conspiracy and two counts of sex trafficking.
A grand jury returned a superseding indictment in May, and when the brothers showed up at the courthouse in June for their arraignment, they were hit with yet another superseding indictment and arrested again.
Oren and Tal made their names in the world of luxury real estate as agents for Douglas Elliman. They eventually starting their own firm, Official, in 2022.
Alon, who is Oren’s twin brother, worked at a security company owned by the family. Tal Alexander, the eldest sibling, is not a twin.
The brothers also face multiple civil lawsuits from women making similar allegations.
Defense attorneys have called the lawsuits a “cash grab” and accused a high-profile personal-injury law firm, Morgan & Morgan, of “dictating” the criminal investigation.
“For months, we’ve watched orchestrated efforts encouraging women to profit from past sexual experiences with the Alexander brothers,” Tal Alexander’s attorneys, Milton Williams and Deanna Paul, said.
“These frivolous lawsuits, filed days before the law’s look-back window is set to expire, are a transparent attempt at a cash grab.”
The brothers are being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn — the same detention facility currently holding the alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione.
The Post has sought comment from the Alexander brothers.
