Oren and Tal Alexander are the founders of the real estate firm Official, which has offices in Manhattan and Miami Beach.

According to an eight-page indictment filed ahead of the news conferences, the brothers allegedly operated a sex-trafficking scheme dating back to 2010. They’re accused of raping and sexually assaulting multiple women “to whom they had provided material benefits, including domestic and international travel to vacation destinations, luxury accommodations at high-end hotels and vacation properties, and access to other luxury experiences and events,” according to the indictment.

The indictment says the brothers deceived and coerced women into traveling with them or meeting them in private locations, where, in some cases, they allegedly drugged the women’s drinks or forcibly assaulted them. It also says they worked with other men to recruit their alleged victims.

The charges in the indictment are listed as conspiracy to commit sex trafficking and two counts of sex trafficking.
