https://abcnews.go.com/US/alexander-brothers-real-estate-moguls-held-bail-after/story?id=116729018Brothers Oren and Alon Alexander will be held without bond on state charges ahead of their sex crimes trial, at least for now, a Florida judge ruled Thursday.
A division judge will make the final ruling on Friday.
Brothers Oren and Alon Alexander, both 37, and Tal Alexander, 38, were arrested on Wednesday in Miami on federal sex trafficking charges, according to an indictment from prosecutors in the Southern District of New York. For well over a decade, the prominent real estate brothers conspired to "repeatedly and violently drug, sexually assault and rape dozens of women," according to the federal indictment unsealed Wednesday in New York.
Oren and Alon, who are twins, were also arrested on state charges, including sexual battery, for which they made their appearances Thursday. Ohad Fisherman, a relative and also a real estate broker, is also charged in Florida but remains at large, state prosecutors said Wednesday.

(12,786 posts)I heard about the brothers. At least about their real estate fortune. Didn't know they were raping women too. I wonder if the women were all of legal age?
