State prosecutors drop sexual battery charge against Oren Alexander

State prosecutors drop sexual battery charge against Oren Alexander


State prosecutors dropped one sexual battery charge against Oren Alexander after the victim was reportedly “satisfied” with the former star broker’s federal conviction in March. 

The woman accused Alexander of sexually assaulting her at his Miami Beach home on Oct. 25, 2021. She reported the alleged assault in September 2024, three months before Oren and his brothers, Alon and Tal, were arrested on federal sex trafficking charges. Oren still faces two sexual battery charges brought by the state. 

The Miami Herald first reported that one charge was dropped. 

In March, Oren, Alon and Tal were found guilty on all 10 counts in the federal case. They are being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, awaiting their sentencing in August. 

In that case, jurors heard testimony from 11 women who say they were attacked by one or more of the brothers and saw evidence, including scores of texts, emails, photos and other documents, presented by prosecutors. 

The brothers could be sentenced to up to life in prison. 

Miami-Dade Assistant State Attorney Natalie Snyder told the court Wednesday that prosecutors plan to transfer Oren and his twin, Alon, to a Miami jail to await trial on the remaining sexual battery charge. Only after their sentencing could they be moved to Miami from New York. 

Oren is facing two charges of sexual battery over alleged assaults against a woman at a 2016 New Year’s Eve party at Alon’s Miami Beach condo, and a woman who told police she was drugged and raped by Oren in 2017. Alon is also charged in the 2016 case. 

Ohad Fisherman, a family friend of the Alexanders who previously worked with them, was also implicated in one of the alleged assaults, Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle’s office dropped the charge against Fisherman last year. 

The Alexanders are also defendants in numerous ongoing civil lawsuits in New York, Miami, and Aspen, filed by women who allege they were drugged and/or raped by one or more of the brothers.
