Two luxury real estate agents, Oren and Tal Alexander, along with their brother Alon, have been charged with drugging and raping dozens of women. The alleged crimes took place in New York City and Miami from 2010 to 2021. The brothers used their positions to lure women into traveling with them or attending parties with promises of romantic relationships, then drugged and raped them. The victims were often given drugs such as cocaine and GHB or had their drinks secretly spiked. The brothers are also accused of physically restraining and ignoring screams during the assaults. Three of the brothers were arrested in Florida and will be taken to New York. One suspect, Ohad Fisherman, is still at large. The brothers deny the allegations.
