Miami judge approves bail for wealthy Alexander twins in state rape case

Miami judge approves bail for wealthy Alexander twins in state rape case

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A Miami judge on Friday granted bail to a prominent real estate broker and his twin brother who are facing allegations of sexual assault. However, they will not be released from custody while they face a separate federal sex-trafficking case with another brother.

Circuit Judge Lody Jean set a $3 million bond for Oren Alexander, 37, and a $2 million bond for Alon Alexander. The connection is provided by their father’s home in Bal Harbor, Florida.

“I’m satisfied that these are reasonable terms that you all have created,” Jean told the lawyers.

Their brother, Tal Alexander, 38, appeared in a Miami federal courtroom Wednesday on a federal sex-trafficking indictment that implicates all three brothers. He is expected back in federal court later Friday.

Authorities arrested the brothers Wednesday on charges related to sex crime allegations in Miami and a federal sex trafficking case in New York City. A federal indictment accuse the brothers of using their wealth to lure, drug and sexually assault and rape multiple women over more than a decade.

The Alexander twins’ court appearance Thursday stemmed from state charges in three separate cases of sexual assault. Oren Alexander faces three separate charges, while Alon Alexander faces one charge.

The case of the Alexander brothers gained national attention after the allegations against them were made public months ago. Oren and Tal Alexander rose to stardom in luxury real estate after co-founding their real estate firm, Official, specializing in luxury properties in Miami, New York and Los Angeles.

The circuit judge on Friday also approved house arrest for the twin brothers and ordered them to stay away from the victims. The judge also noted that the brothers had surrendered their passports to federal authorities.
