Federal prosecutors have filed a superseding indictment against the Alexander brothers, three luxury Miami businessmen previously arrested in December for running a highly sophisticated sex trafficking ring.
The new indictment adds charges and victims, alleging Alon, Oren, and Tal Alexander conspired to exploit vulnerable women and minors for commercial sex through force, fraud, and coercion.
The charges include conspiracy to commit sex trafficking, multiple counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and inducement to travel for unlawful sexual activity.
All three brothers are accused of participating in trafficking at least five adult victims, while two of the brothers, Tal and Alon Alexander, face additional charges of trafficking a minor.

Tal Alexander is individually named in five out of the nine counts. His charges include trafficking a minor, the use of incapacitating drugs, coercion across state lines, and the storage of non-consensual explicit images.

Their trial date is set for Jan. 5, 2026, and their next hearing is July 15, 2025.
Oren and Tal Alexander co-founded the real estate firm Official, which offers luxury listings in places like New York City, the Hamptons, Miami and Los Angeles, in 2022 after rising through the ranks at Douglas Elliman, one of the largest real estate brokerages in the country, according to prosecutors.

Their past clients include Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Liam Gallagher and Lindsay Lohan, according to CBS News.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Oren's attorneys with Klugh Wilson LLC said that this was an "overzealous, unwarranted pursuit."
"The government’s third try is no more sound than their first two. It is simply another swing-and-a-miss by a government that has gone off the rails in an overzealous, unwarranted pursuit."
Tal's attorneys, Deanna Paul and Milton Williams, said that the superseding indictment "changes nothing."
"It’s a reheated version of the same case—and still does not include conduct that amounts to federal sex trafficking," they told Fox News Digital. "The government is trying to stretch a statute beyond recognition to fit a narrative, not a crime."
