Twin Real Estate Moguls Face Trial for Alleged Miami Beach Gang Rape
In a major decision this week, Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Lody Jean denied a bid by Oren and Alon Alexander — well-known real estate brothers — and their friend, Ohad Fisherman, to throw out a sexual battery case tied to a disturbing incident in Miami Beach nearly eight years ago.
What the Prosecution Claims Happened That Night
According to prosecutors, the Alexander twins, both 37, are accused of taking turns raping a woman on New Year’s Eve 2016, while Fisherman allegedly pinned her down inside a Miami Beach condo. The woman says she was lured there after Alon sent her photos of a cookout happening on the patio. But when she arrived, she says the party was over, and what unfolded was a nightmare.

Defense Argues Missing Evidence, But Judge Stands Firm
The trio’s defense teams argued the charges should be dropped because four key pieces of evidence were either lost, destroyed, or never preserved. These included:
-
A video of the alleged assault,
-
A photo of the cookout used to lure the victim,
-
A text message exchange between Alon and the woman, and
-
Drone footage showing the men on a boat.
However, Judge Jean ruled that there was no proof prosecutors intentionally mishandled or lost the evidence. She did acknowledge that one piece — the drone video — could potentially have supported Fisherman’s alibi, but said its timing didn’t line up to clear him entirely. Sunset that day was at 5:41 p.m., while the victim says she arrived at the condo around 6:15 p.m.
Gruesome Details From the Alleged Victim
Court records reveal chilling details from the accuser’s statement: she described sitting at the foot of a bed when Fisherman grabbed her shoulders from behind while the twins decided who would assault her first. She claims she repeatedly said “no” but was ignored as the twins disrobed her and used condoms.
Only Fisherman to Stand Trial in Miami — For Now
Currently, only Fisherman is expected to face trial in Miami in July for the 2016 assault. The Alexander twins remain in a New York federal detention center with their older brother, Tal Alexander, 38, awaiting separate federal charges for sex trafficking and multiple rapes.
Dozens of Women Across States Speak Up
Prosecutors say the three brothers exploited their luxury lifestyle and industry fame to lure women to high-end apartments, hotels, and private trips — often drugging them before the assaults. During a New York federal hearing, a witness stated that over four dozen women have come forward with credible allegations against the brothers.
Defense Pushes Back on Sex Trafficking Claims
The brothers’ legal teams are also asking a federal judge to toss out their indictment, arguing they never paid the women for sex, which they claim is a requirement for sex trafficking charges under the law. They argue the women did not have sex “on account of” financial promises but were instead lured by the brothers’ reputation and perks.
More Civil Lawsuits Looming for the Alexander Brothers
Beyond the criminal cases, over two dozen women in New York and South Florida have filed civil lawsuits accusing one or more of the brothers of sexual assault and seeking damages.
What Happens Next?
As it stands, the Miami Beach sexual assault case will move forward. Fisherman’s Miami trial is expected in July, while the Alexander twins face multiple legal battles on both state and federal fronts. These allegations have rocked the high-end real estate world the brothers once dominated.
