Miami Real Estate Brokers Oren and Tal Alexander and Brother Alon Sentenced to 30 Years Each for Sex Trafficking

A federal judge in Manhattan sentenced Miami luxury real estate brokers Oren and Tal Alexander and their brother Alon to 30 years each in federal prison on Tuesday, Oct. 27, for sex trafficking. A jury convicted the three in March of drugging and raping women over two decades. U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni told the brothers their conduct was "monstrous," CBS News reported. Each will also serve 10 years of supervised release. The sentences close the federal case against three men who grew up in Miami-Dade and became fixtures of Miami's high-end real estate world. Two of them still face state rape charges in Miami-Dade County.

The sentences

Caproni gave all three brothers the same 30-year term after a hearing that lasted about six hours. Twelve women gave victim impact statements, according to an AP account published by WFTV: 11 spoke in court and one had prosecutors read hers. Prosecutors asked for life sentences. Defense lawyers asked for 15 years, the mandatory minimum for sex trafficking. The federal probation office had recommended far longer terms, NBC 6 South Florida reported, calculating 15 years for each victim raped. That formula worked out to 180 years for Alon and Tal and 195 years for Oren. The 30-year terms fall between the defense request and the government's request for life.

The judge said the evidence was "overwhelming" that the brothers had secretly drugged women, CBS News reported. She also said she was unsure whether the brothers should serve their time in the same prison. Each brother must pay at least $300,000, according to the AP account. Oren Alexander was also ordered to pay $50,000 tied to a conviction for producing child sexual abuse material, which prosecutors said was a video of him raping a 17-year-old girl.

The defendants are twins Oren and Alon Alexander, both 39, and their older brother Tal, 40.

The conviction

A federal jury in New York convicted the brothers on March 9, 2026, on all 10 counts against them, including conspiracy to commit sex trafficking and several counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion. All three had pleaded not guilty.

Prosecutors said the brothers raped or sexually assaulted at least 70 women, with the abuse beginning around 2001 or 2002, when the brothers were in high school. The indictment alleged they drugged women, often ones they had invited on luxury trips and to parties, and sometimes photographed the assaults. Prosecutors said two of the victims were teenagers. They called the brothers serial rapists. One woman testified that Tal and Alon, along with two other men, raped her at a 2009 party when she was 16.

The defense argued at trial that the encounters were consensual. In court Tuesday, all three brothers denied the charges again. Alon told the judge he was "innocent of these charges," according to CBS News. Oren said he was ashamed of how he had behaved. Tal asked the judge for mercy. The defense has said it will appeal and has called the evidence weak on key points.

From Miami Beach to "The A Team"

The brothers grew up in Miami-Dade County and, according to local news reports, attended Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High School in northeast Miami-Dade. Oren and Tal became two of the best-known luxury brokers in the country. They were nicknamed real estate's "A Team" for record-setting sales and a celebrity client list, and they sold high-end homes in Miami, New York and Los Angeles. Alon took an executive role at the family's private security company after law school, CBS News reported.

Their fall began in Florida. FBI agents and South Florida authorities arrested the brothers in a predawn raid on their Miami Beach homes in December 2024. They were held at a federal facility in Miami before being moved to New York, and they have been jailed without bail since.

Florida cases still pending

The federal sentence does not end the brothers' legal trouble in Florida. Oren and Alon still face state rape charges in Miami-Dade County, the Tampa Bay Times reported. Their state trial was put on hold while prosecutors waited for the Manhattan sentencing. Oren is charged in two cases. One stems from an alleged assault at Alon's Miami Beach condo on New Year's Eve 2016, and Alon is also charged in that case. Tal has not been charged by the state.

Miami-Dade prosecutors dropped one sexual battery case against Oren in April 2026, NBC 6 reported. The woman in that case said she was satisfied with the federal verdict and did not want to go through more trauma. According to the Tampa Bay Times, Assistant State Attorney Natalie Snyder had said she was ready to file paperwork to bring the twins back to Florida for trial as soon as they were sentenced. A spokesperson for the State Attorney's Office declined to comment, saying the cases remain open and pending. The brothers have denied the state charges, and they are presumed innocent of them unless convicted.

The civil cases

Beyond the criminal cases, the brothers face dozens of civil lawsuits from women who accuse them of drugging, sexual assault and rape. Those suits are separate from the criminal proceedings and were not resolved by Tuesday's sentencing.

The case drew national attention partly because of who the defendants were. U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton, whose Manhattan office brought the case, said earlier in the case that such crimes are all too prevalent, CBS News reported. U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald called the conduct extraordinarily serious and said it would be met with serious punishment.

What's next

The brothers' lawyers have said they will appeal; appeals from Manhattan federal court go to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In Florida, the next step belongs to the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office, which can now seek to transfer Oren and Alon to Miami for trial on the state rape charges. No state trial date had been publicly set as of Wednesday. Any state sentence would be in addition to the 30-year federal terms.
