Seven lawsuits were filed this week against one or more of the Alexander brothers, who are facing multiple accusations of sexual assault in both civil and criminal court.
The newest allegations against Tal Alexander and his brothers, Oren Alexander and Alon Alexander, who are twins, came this week in a flurry of last-minute claims all brought against the men as a legal window for decades-old allegations is closing. Two of the lawsuits were filed on Friday night to meet a midnight deadline.
The Alexanders are collectively now facing at least 24 lawsuits, deepening the legal troubles for the brothers once known for their jet-setting lifestyles fueled by the work of Tal Alexander and Oren Alexander in the luxury residential real estate.
In the latest batch of lawsuits, the net of allegations has widened to include their parents; Douglas Elliman, the real estate brokerage where Tal Alexander and Oren Alexander once worked; the Alexander family business; and the owner of an estate in the Hamptons who frequently hosted parties that the brothers attended.
The claims add new twists to the maze of sexual assault allegations against the brothers who were arrested in December in Miami Beach on federal sex-trafficking charges. Currently jailed in New York, they are scheduled to go to trial early next year.

That lawsuit also accuses Douglas Elliman, where Tal Alexander and Oren Alexander were top brokers for a decade, of enabling and facilitating what the women describe as the brothers’ “sex-trafficking ring.” The brokerage’s longtime chief executive, Howard Lorber, “was well aware” the brothers were sexually abusing women, the women claim in the lawsuit, and they “could not and would not have sex-trafficked all of these women without the financial and other resources provided by their parents, defendant Shlomi Alexander and defendant Orly Alexander, and their company, defendant Kent Security Services.”
In another lawsuit, a woman filing as Jane Doe said she was taken to a party in the…
