Three brothers, Oren, Alon, and Tal Alexander, are currently on trial in Manhattan federal court on sex trafficking charges that carry up to life in prison. Prosecutors have reportedly spoken to over 60 individuals who allege they were drugged and raped by at least one of the brothers. The Alexander brothers, described as prominent ultra-luxury real estate figures with Israeli-American ties, were indicted by the SDNY in December 2024. A superseding indictment filed in May 2025 allegedly added a sex trafficking of a minor count involving a victim reportedly as young as 16. Additional state charges were filed separately in Miami-Dade County. Where it gets even more interesting is the Epstein connection. On February 2, 2026, Judge Valerie Caproni issued an order barring the DOJ from releasing any “Epstein Files” material that references the defendants until after a verdict is reached. Court reporting indicates the brothers’ names allegedly appeared in a six-page spreadsheet of Epstein-related tips, which the government reportedly described as an “inadvertent” release. This is a federal sex trafficking trial involving allegations from dozens of victims, possible ties to the Epstein network, and a judge actively suppressing related file releases mid-trial. Despite all of that, the coverage has been minimal compared to the scale of what’s being alleged in that courtroom.
