The wife of a Miami socialite facing serious allegations of sexual misconduct appeared unfazed as she attended the third week of his federal court proceedings.
Former Victoria’s Secret model Shani Zigron, 30, was all smiles, chatting on the phone and showcasing a designer handbag as she walked into the Manhattan courthouse for the ongoing trial.
Her husband, Alon Alexander, 38, stands accused of orchestrating a sex trafficking ring with his two brothers, allegedly involving the drugging and assault of at least eight women and two minors over more than ten years.
In contrast to the spouses of the other accused siblings, Shani has been a fixture at the trial, showing up every day and enduring the heart-wrenching testimonies of the alleged victims.
On Monday, she was seen entering the court with her wedding ring prominently displayed, signaling her unwavering support for her husband.
Zigron carried a Prada Bonnie handbag, reportedly worth $3,800, a symbol of the affluent lifestyle linked to the family’s property empire.
The three brothers – Oren, Tal and Alon – each purchased sprawling Miami Beach mansions in 2020, properties collectively valued at nearly $30 million. Alon lived in one of the waterfront homes with Shani and their two young children until his arrest.
Throughout weeks of testimony detailing alleged assaults across multiple states, Zigron has largely remained unfazed.

Zigron’s husband, Alon Alexander, 38, is accused of masterminding a sex trafficking conspiracy alongside his two brothers Tal and Oren that allegedly involved drugging and raping at least eight women and two minors over more than a decade
She showed a flicker of emotion came when jurors were shown footage of FBI agents raiding her designer-filled closet inside the luxury Miami property.
Last week she was also seen writing in a pink notepad bearing the words ‘ALON COMING HOME NOW’ next to next month’s date, when the trial is due to conclude.
In court on Tuesday, Zigron briefly left the courtroom as an alleged victim, testifying under the pseudonym Kayley Brown, took to the stand to detail an alleged rape on her friends during a trip to Aspen in 2011.
Throughout the day’s proceedings, she was seen passing notes with her in-laws and whispering, while the brothers sat stony-faced and only briefly spoke with their attorneys.
Alon previously worked as an executive at his parents’ private security company.
His twin brother Oren and older brother Tal, 39, built high-profile careers as luxury real estate brokers in Manhattan and Miami.
Together, the brothers built a multi-million dollar fortune.
While Zigron has been a fixture in court, Oren’s wife, fellow model Kamila Hansen, has appeared only briefly on two occasions.
Tal Alexander is in the midst of divorce proceedings from his estranged wife, Arielle, who filed to separate within weeks of his December 2024 arrest and shortly after the birth of their first child. She has not attended the trial.

The only time she seemed bothered during the trial was when the court was shown footage of her mansion being raided
Inside the courtroom this week, the Alexander family maintained a composed and outwardly united front. Zigron sat alongside the brothers’ parents, property developer Shlomi Alexander and his wife Orly, joined by several other supporters filling a row behind the defense table.
On Monday, jurors heard emotional testimony from Maylen Gehret, who alleged that Alon drugged and raped her in Aspen, Colorado, when she was 17.
Fighting back tears, she told the court she met the brothers at a nightclub where she said Alon handed her vodka cranberry drinks before her head felt ‘really heavy’ and she could ‘barely hold it up.’
She testified that the twins brought her and two friends to what was described as an afterparty but instead took them to an empty hotel room, where she said Alon assaulted her.
She further alleged that he later used her phone to follow himself on Instagram and send a message reading ‘hey babe.’
When asked about her civil lawsuit and whether financial damages would affect her life, she told the court: ‘I really hope I don’t sound like a jerk, but the truth is, it would not impact my life because my father is a billionaire.
‘I don’t need their money. I just don’t want them to have it.’
The following day, jurors listened as New York City art gallery owner Lindsay Acree accused Tal Alexander of raping her in the Hamptons in 2011.
Zigron, 30, has been married to Alon Alexander, 38, since 2020

She testified that she had been invited to the Long Island home over Memorial Day weekend, expecting what she described as a ‘fun weekend.’
Instead, she said she quickly sensed something was wrong, recalling there was little music and few guests present.
Acree told the court she accepted a glass of red wine from Tal and soon felt ‘heavy,’ describing the sensation as ‘zombie-like.’
After just a few sips, she said she ‘couldn’t speak’ and was led to a sauna inside the mansion.
In tearful testimony, she alleged that Tal and another man sexually assaulted her in the sauna. She said she later regained consciousness and was mocked in the kitchen, recalling Tal telling her: ‘you had quite a night last night, you should leave the house.’
As she and her friend gathered their belongings, she testified that she saw two other girls arriving at the property, describing them as ‘looking really, really young.’
All three brothers have denied the allegations against them.
The trial continues.
