A federal jury in Manhattan convicted luxury real estate brokers Tal Alexander and Oren Alexander and their brother, Alon Alexander, after a five-week sex-trafficking trial that gripped the real estate world and sparked a wave of civil lawsuits.

The jury began deliberating Thursday (March 5) after hearing weeks of testimony from nearly a dozen women who alleged the brothers worked together to drug, sexually assault, and rape them at luxury homes in the Hamptons, on a cruise, in New York City, and at other high-end locations.

Tal, 39, and twins Oren and Alon, both 38, were charged by the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan in December 2024. Prosecutors alleged the brothers engaged in sex trafficking between 2010 and 2021, using their wealth and status to lure women to luxury gatherings and then assault them. All three brothers pleaded not guilty.

Tal and Oren are well-known luxury real estate brokers in Miami and New York City. Alon is an executive at a family-owned private security company.

Defense attorneys acknowledged in closing arguments that the brothers lived a playboy lifestyle but insisted they were not rapists. Marc Agnifilo, a lawyer for Oren Alexander, told the jury the brothers' "unsentimental pursuit of sex" left some women heartbroken and upset, but said that was not evidence of a crime.

"Not because they're rapists. Not because they drug women. But because they have a certain combination of characteristics that have made lots of people angry with them," Agnifilo argued.

In a rebuttal, assistant U.S. attorney Elizabeth Espinosa pushed back hard, telling the jury the case was "not a close case." She said 11 women had come forward in what she called "an avalanche of evidence." Espinosa also pointed to a blog recovered from a computer hard drive in Tal Alexander's apartment, which the government said promoted drugging and raping women. Defense lawyers denied the brothers wrote any of the posts.

The verdict came days after a separate civil lawsuit added to the legal pressure on the family. Tracy Tutor, a star of Bravo's reality show Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles, filed suit Thursday (March 5) in U.S. District Court in New York City, alleging Oren Alexander drugged and sexually assaulted her at a Manhattan dinner in 2014. Tutor's suit accuses Alexander of enticing her to come to New York City under the guise of a real estate networking event.

Oren Alexander's civil attorney, Jason Goldman, called the suit "salacious and demonstrably false," saying Tutor and her lawyers timed the filing "for maximum media impact" on the eve of jury deliberations.

All three men face a maximum of life in prison and will formally sentenced in August.
