Nearly a dozen more women accused at least one of the Alexander brothers of sexual assault in lawsuits filed in New York.
High-profile real estate moguls Oren, 37, and Tal Alexander, 38, and Oren’s twin Alon, have now been sued by 17 people with the inclusion of the 11 new lawsuits, which were reported by The New York Times, NBC News and HousingWire.
The Times and NBC report that the latest lawsuits accuse the brothers, who are from Miami Beach, of committing assaults in New York, Miami and Moscow. The allegations reportedly span from 2011 to 2019.
Previously, the brothers were indicted on federal sex trafficking charges in the Southern District of New York.
Oren and Tal work together in real estate, while Alon is an executive at their family’s private security firm.
In an indictment, prosecutors alleged that the brothers dated women they met through social contacts before allegedly raping them. They have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
“Tal is an easy target for so-called accusers who will fabricate stories for financial benefit,” Tal Alexander’s attorney Deanna Paul tells PEOPLE in a statement. “A federal court has already dismissed claims under this statute as time barred. This transparent attempt at a cash grab will fail and we expect these frivolous lawsuits, filed days before the law is set to expire, will also be dismissed.”

The filing claims that each of the brothers has been accused of forcible rape by at least 10 women.
