Real estate magnates Tal and Oren Alexander, along with their brother Alon Alexander, have been convicted in federal court on charges of sex trafficking and related offenses, marking a significant downfall for these once-celebrated luxury real estate brokers.
The jury found them guilty on all counts, including conspiracy to commit sex trafficking, inducement to travel for illegal sexual activities, and several instances of sex trafficking through force, fraud, or coercion.
During his closing statement on March 3, prosecutor Andrew Jones described the brothers as predatory under the guise of being socialites.
“They followed a systematic approach to lure, isolate, and assault their victims,” Jones stated. “Their actions were marked by a cruel indifference and twisted sense of accomplishment.”

Over the course of four weeks of testimony, Tal, Oren, and Alon Alexander, who held an executive role at the family’s private security company, strongly refuted the accusations of sex crimes and other related charges.
Prosecutors allege the brothers orchestrated a yearslong pattern of sexual abuse involving numerous women across multiple states. The defense has argued that the encounters were consensual and that the government has overreached.
Eleven women, including several who said they were minors at the time of the incidents, testified against the brothers, alleging they gave them gifts and flew them to locations and parties where they were given drugs before assaulting them.
