Federal prosecutors in New York say recently found videos and pictures support sex trafficking charges against the Alexander brothers and show the manipulation of women's bodies for the purposes of sex.
Twins Alon and Oren Alexander, are both 37, while Tal Alexander is 38. The three brothers are part of a wealthy Miami Beach family. Oren and Tal started a high-end real estate business, while Alon managed the family security business. The brothers face conspiracy to commit sex trafficking charges related to incidents between 2010 to 2021.
Prosecutors asserted in a recent court filing that each brother had been accused of forcible rape by at least 10 women, the Miami Herald reported. Prosecutors also restated allegations that more 40 women reported to the FBI that one of the brothers had raped them sometimes between 2002 and 2021, the newspaper reported.
Prosecutors stated that FBI agents also found photos and videos after executing a search warrant at a Manhattan apartment once shared by Tal and Oren.
"In multiple videos, the women appear initially unaware that they were being recorded and became upset and attempted to hide or flee from the camera after realizing they were being filmed," the newspaper quoted a letter sent by prosecutors to U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni.
"Multiple other videos found in Tal Alexander's apartment depict Alon, Oren, and other men engaged in sexual contact with women who are visibly under the influence of alcohol or other substances. In some instances, at least one defendant [Alon or Oren] 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 Herald reported the letter states.
NBC Miami reported that defense attorneys demanded copies of the material and criticized the prosecutor's characterizations of the videos. Defense attorney Richard Klugh asserted that the government "speculates that the videos portray non-consensual sex." The station quoted Klugh as stating that the videos undermine the federal case.
"Notably the government stops short of asserting that any of the women portrayed in the videos did not consent to the sex," the station quotes Klugh.
