More Charges Expected in Alexander Bros Sex Trafficking Case

The Alexander brothers will have their sex trafficking trial in January 2026, a judge decided at their first appearance in a New York courtroom. Prosecutors also revealed they plan to file a superseding indictment that would include additional charges against the brothers.

Former top brokers Tal and Oren and their brother, security executive Alon, entered not-guilty pleas at their arraignment in front of Judge Valerie Caproni on Friday, two weeks after arriving in the Southern District of New York.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Espinosa said the government has interviewed about 60 victims who say they were assaulted by one or more of the brothers.

Federal investigators said they examined iCloud accounts, Instagram and Facebook social media accounts for all three brothers, along with dating app accounts for Oren and Alon.

The searches on their New York and Miami homes turned up 19 technology devices like laptops, iPads, hard drives, thumb drives and SD cards, according to prosecutors. Also recovered was a Motorola cellphone and an Apple Watch.

Their parents, Shlomy and Orly Alexander, and Oren’s wife, Kamila Hansen Alexander, attended Friday’s hearing.

The brothers are being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, alongside rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs and the alleged killer of the United Healthcare CEO, Luigi Mangione. The Alexanders were arrested in Miami on Dec. 11 and charged with sex trafficking and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking.

Caproni last month denied the Alexanders’ requests for release on house arrest and ordered they remain in jail ahead of their trial. At the hearing, Alon’s attorney Howard Srebnick said their parents were “prepared to risk everything” to secure their release. Srebnick, along with Tal’s attorneys, previously pledged “any amount” to get them out of jail.

Caproni in her ruling sided with prosecutors who argued the brothers’ wealth, family property overseas and access to private planes and boats made them a flight risk. She argued the Alexanders were potentially dangerous to their communities considering the scope and severity of the allegations.

Attorneys for Tal, Oren and Alon have filed appeals to overturn the judge’s decision.

At the January hearing, prosecutors outlined their evidence against the Alexanders, including interviews with more than 40 women who claim they were sexually assaulted by one or more of the brothers with accusations spanning more than two decades. Three of those women were minors at the time of the alleged attacks.

Federal authorities raided Tal’s Manhattan apartment the day he was arrested in Florida and recovered a hard drive with explicit videos, which prosecutors described as showing Oren, Alon and other unidentified men having sex with women who appear to be intoxicated.

Tal’s wife, Arielle Alexander, filed for divorce last month, after about a year and a half of marriage. The couple, who rent an apartment at 432 Park Avenue, recently welcomed their first child.

The brothers are also facing civil lawsuits alleging they drugged and sexually assaulted women. Last month, a federal judge dismissed one complaint that alleged Tal and Alon raped a woman while Oren, watched. Judge Lewis Kaplan’s dismissal was based on his interpretations of deadlines in state and city laws, not on the merits of the case.
