Ohad Fisherman Surrenders in Alexanders Case, Granted Bond

Ohad Fisherman, named in a state sexual battery case alongside Oren and Alon Alexander, has turned himself in to authorities in Florida.

Fisherman appeared in court on Wednesday morning alongside his wife, after returning from his honeymoon in Japan the night before. The Miami-Dade State Attorney’s office charged Fisherman with one count of sexual battery for allegedly helping the twin brothers rape a woman in 2016.

An indictment unsealed by the Southern District of New York charged Oren, Alon and Tal Alexander with sex trafficking and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking. It alleged the brothers had raped and sexually assaulted more than a dozen women spanning over a decade. A special agent testified last week that the FBI task force had interviewed 40 women who say they were assaulted by one or more of the brothers.

Fisherman, a family friend of the Alexanders, is not named in the federal indictment.

Fisherman will wear an ankle monitor and his attorneys are surrendering Fisherman’s Israeli and American passports. He also agreed to a $260,000 personal surety guaranteed by his wife and mother-in-law and a $25,000 corporate surety issued by Roy Zemlock of Bail Miami, the same bail bondsman the Alexanders are using.

Fisherman “vehemently denies” the allegations, his lawyer Jeffrey Sloman said after the hearing. Fisherman could be released later today, Sloman said.

Fisherman, who worked as an agent with Oren and his older brother, Tal, at their brokerage Official Partners, immigrated to the U.S. from Israel in 2012 and lived in New York for eight years before moving to South Florida in 2020, Sloman said in court. He became a U.S. citizen last year.

Fisherman launched his own brokerage in October, about three months after The Real Deal first reported the rape allegations against the Alexander twins.

“To say this has not been good for his business is an understatement,” Sloman said at the hearing.

Fisherman’s picture appeared next to those for Oren and Alon Alexander at a press conference held by the state attorney’s office last week, hours after their arrests. He was considered “at large” at the time, though his attorney pushed back on that claim because Fisherman was on his honeymoon.

Oren and Alon Alexander are being held at state detention centers in Miami. They’re expected to go before a federal judge once the U.S. Marshals Service picks them up. Tal Alexander, who is not facing state charges, is being held at the federal detention center in Miami.
