Just weeks before a federal jury is set to hear allegations of a two-decade sex-trafficking scheme, federal prosecutors have expanded their case against the Alexander brothers, charging two of them with sexually abusing a woman who prosecutors say was physically incapable of saying no.
According to a newly filed superseding indictment, twin brothers Oren and Alon Alexander are accused of committing the assault in January 2012 aboard a Bahamian-flagged cruise ship that departed from and returned to the United States, a charge added as all three brothers remain in custody awaiting trial in New York.
The new charge marks a significant escalation in a case that has steadily expanded since the brothers were first arrested in December 2024, with prosecutors filing multiple superseding indictments as the case has moved closer to trial.
Prosecutors have accused Oren and Alon Alexander, along with their older brother Tal Alexander, of conspiring for more than a decade to drug and sexually assault women in locations including Miami, New York and the Hamptons — allegations the brothers have repeatedly denied.

According to previous court filings, the brothers and their alleged co-conspirators are accused of luring women with promises of luxury travel, accommodations and access to high-end social events before allegedly incapacitating and sexually assaulting them, sometimes involving multiple men. Earlier filings also included allegations involving additional victims, including at least one minor.
