Alarming new evidence of ‘trophy’ videos has been discovered in the home of the Alexander brothers, who are accused of drugging and raping dozens of women over nearly two decades.
Oren and Alon, both 37, and Tal Alexander, 38, prominent real estate agents based in Miami Beach, were indicted on December 11 and charged with sex trafficking offenses by the US Attorney’s Office in Manhattan.
Federal prosecutors allege that more than 40 women have reported being forcibly raped or sexually assaulted by at least one of the brothers between 2002 and 2021.
Now, ahead of a major detention hearing set for Wednesday, prosecutors claim they have damning new evidence, explicit sex videos and photos – or ‘trophies’ – that were seized from an apartment in New York City, leased by Tal and Oren Alexander.
The alleged new evidence was uncovered during an execution of a search warrant on December 11, NBC reported.
The explicit content allegedly depicts the three brothers, and other individuals, engaging in sexual acts with women who were intoxicated and unaware they were being recorded.
In one video, a camera was used to record over a bathroom stall where a man and a woman were engaged in intercourse.
When the woman noticed the camera, she reportedly expressed distress, saying ‘no’ and objecting to being recorded, according to the filing.
Other videos allegedly show women visibly under the influence of alcohol or drugs being manipulated into sexual acts by the brothers or others, sometimes without actively participating or appearing to consent, the filing states.
Prosecutors now argue that the newly uncovered evidence, combined with earlier allegations, demonstrates the ‘depraved nature’ of the defendants’ conduct – and the threat they pose to the public.
The Wednesday detention hearing will determine whether the brothers remain in custody as the case proceeds.
All three brothers have pled not guilty and plan to ask US District Judge Valerie Caproni to let them await trial on home detention in Miami, NBC reported.
A December 11 indictment alleges that the Alexander brothers ‘worked together and with others to engage in sex trafficking, including by repeatedly drugging, sexually assaulting, and raping dozens of female victims.’
The scathing document also claims the wealthy real estate agents ‘focused on ultra-luxury markets and used their wealth and prominent positions in real estate to create and facilitate opportunities to sexually assault women.’
‘The charges outlined in this indictment reflect some of the most heinous and dehumanizing crimes of sexual exploitation that our NYPD detectives investigate,’ NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said.
Separate from the younger two, the eldest brother, Tal, is additionally charged with a second count of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison and a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in prison.
‘The Alexander brothers allegedly conspired using their wealth and status to prey on innocent women, coercing them into engaging in sexual acts. We will not allow this type of alleged behavior to go unimpeded,’ FBI Assistant Director in Charge James Dennehy said.
‘Predators forcefully coercing victims into sexual acts cannot and will not be tolerated. The FBI, along with our law enforcement partners, are committed to investigating sex trafficking and ensuring anyone attempting to engage in it is held accountable in the criminal justice system.’
