The Alexander brothers are facing more lawsuits accusing them of sexual assaults in attacks spanning from 2011 to 2018 in New York, Miami and Moscow.
Eleven women filed lawsuits on Tuesday morning in New York. The majority of the complaints name Oren and or Tal as defendants and describe attacks that occurred during their reign as top luxury residential real estate brokers at Douglas Elliman. One lawsuit is against Alon, Oren’s twin brother who was an executive at the family’s private security firm, Kent Security.
The complaints describe alleged interactions with the brothers through dating apps, mutual friends and nightlife hotspots that ended in premeditated attacks. The majority of accounts describe apparent drugging of victims and perceived coordination between more than one of the brothers at a time.
Nearly all of the complaints were filed by Jane Does, except for one. Leah Peters alleges that Oren raped her while giving her a home tour at a party in 2018, and then pulled her into the shower, “aggressively scrubbing her body.”
The lawsuits were filed under an extension of New York City’s Gender-Motivated Violence Act. The window to file such complaints closes at the end of February. Attorneys Antigone Curis and Andrew VanArsdale are representing the women.
“We commend these survivors for coming forward and standing up against their abusers and look forward to pursuing justice on their behalf,” Curis said in a statement.
Another complaint alleges that in December 2015, Jane Doe had drinks with Oren at a high-end speakeasy-style bar with a Mexican theme in Miami, and felt disoriented and dizzy. After arriving at Oren’s apartment with him, there was another man with a topless young woman who appeared to be about 15 years old.
The Jane Doe expressed discomfort, but Oren “dismissed her concerns and led her to a bedroom, where he raped her… throughout the night before she lost consciousness and again in the morning.”
In the morning, Oren “insisted she stay with him for the remainder of her trip, offering shopping and fine dining in an attempt to normalize the assault,” the complaint alleges.
The account is the only civil lawsuit to include a mention of another man in close proximity to an attack. Prosecutors with the Southern District alleged in an indictment released in December the brothers operated a “long-running sex trafficking scheme” in New York and Miami with participation by multiple men.
The latest bundle of lawsuits, which brings the number of civil complaints against the brothers to 17, was first reported by the New York Times. They were filed by personal injury firms Curis Law of New York and San Diego-based AVA Law Group. AVA is among the law firms representing 50 men and women in sexual assault and abuse claims against Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Prosecutors have repeatedly cited the brothers’ wealth and connections, from their developer father Shlomy and as top luxury residential real estate brokers, alleging they lured women to exclusive locations within the U.S. and around the world. The U.S. Attorney’s Office said in December the attacks, which included gang rapes, occurred as early as high school.
Deanna Paul, an attorney for Tal, dismissed the new filings as “frivolous.”
“Tal is an easy target for so-called accusers who will fabricate stories for financial benefit. A federal court has already dismissed claims under this statute as time-barred,” Paul said in a statement. “This transparent attempt at a cash grab will fail and we expect these frivolous lawsuits will also be dismissed.”
Richard Klugh, Oren’s attorney, in a statement pointed to previous arguments by the defense that sought to undermine accusers and the firms representing them.
“We will vigorously defend against these complaints. We are not aware of any pre-suit correspondence as to these claims for money damages, but prior allegations that we have addressed along these lines (including those involving the extensive recruiting of plaintiffs) have been thoroughly refuted.”
Defense attorneys for the brothers last week accused law firm Morgan & Morgan of coordinating with state prosecutors in preparing a civil lawsuit claiming an attack by Oren and Alon. The case, filed in December, is seeking millions in damages over an alleged attack that took place in Miami in 2016 and alleged sexual battery by former business associate Ohad Fisherman.
The new filings come as the brothers are being held in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center under federal sex trafficking charges. All three have pleaded not guilty.
A New York judge set the brothers’ trial for January 2026. In the brothers’ first appearance in the Southern District since their arrests in Miami in December, prosecutors revealed they plan to file a superseding indictment with additional charges based on interviews with about 60 victims.
A federal judge last month dismissed a civil lawsuit filed in Miami by a woman alleging Tal and Alon raped a woman while Oren watched. Judge Lewis Kaplan cited the timing of the filing, saying the woman missed the window to file over the alleged 2012 attack.
Angelica Parker sued the three brothers in June, weeks after The Real Deal first reported two lawsuits accusing twin brothers Oren and Alon of raping women in separate incidents in New York more than a decade ago.
