Three high-profile real estate brokers have been convicted in a major sex trafficking case in the New York City after prosecutors accused them of drugging and assaulting dozens of women over several decades.
Brothers Tal Alexander, 39, and Oren Alexander, 38, rose to prominence selling luxury properties in New York City and Miami. Along with their younger brother Alon Alexander, 38, they were found guilty by a jury on multiple criminal charges, including sex trafficking and sexual exploitation of a minor.
The verdict followed a five-week trial in federal court.

Prosecutors said the brothers used their wealth and influence to lure women to parties, luxury homes and private trips before drugging and sexually assaulting them.
They were convicted on all 10 criminal counts and could face life in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for 6 August.
Prosecutors Describe Pattern of Abuse
During closing arguments, Assistant US Attorney Andrew Jones told jurors the brothers committed the crimes with “callousness” and even a “perverse sense of pride”.
Eleven women testified during the trial, including several who said they were minors when the incidents occurred.
Prosecutors said the brothers secretly placed drugs in victims’ drinks before assaulting them. In some cases, jurors were told the men physically restrained women while ignoring their pleas to stop.
Evidence presented to the court included a video allegedly showing Oren Alexander raping a drugged 17-year-old in his Manhattan apartment in 2009.
Defence Claimed Encounters Were Consensual
Lawyers representing the brothers argued the women had willingly attended parties and events and denied the accusations of assault.
Marc Agnifilo, an attorney for Oren Alexander, described the defendants as “womanisers” but insisted they had not drugged or raped anyone.
“They’re not drugging them, they’re not raping them, but they’re certainly pursuing them,” he told the court.
Agnifilo previously represented rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs during his own sex trafficking trial last year.
New Allegations Surface
During the trial, another allegation emerged in a separate civil lawsuit filed by reality television personality and real estate agent Tracy Tutor.
Tutor accused Oren Alexander of drugging and sexually assaulting her in New York in 2024.
Lawyers for Alexander dismissed the claim, calling it a “demonstrably false lawsuit for maximum media impact”.
Prominent Careers in Luxury Real Estate
Before the criminal charges, Tal and Oren Alexander were well-known figures in the luxury property market.
They worked for real estate company Douglas Elliman, selling homes to high-profile clients including Liam Gallagher, Lindsay Lohan, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
In 2022, the brothers launched their own real estate firm, Official, based in New York.
Their younger brother Alon worked at the family-owned security company Kent Security.
Following the guilty verdict, all three brothers now face the possibility of spending the rest of their lives in prison.
