Far from their luxurious lifestyle, 37-year-old twin brothers Oren and Alon Alexander waited for a federal court hearing in Miami on Monday after a federal judge denied bond for their older 38-year-old brother Tal Alexander on Friday.

On Saturday, Miami-Dade County inmate records show Alon Alexander was at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and Oren Alexander was at Metrowest Detention Center. Correctional officers booked them both on Wednesday. Federal inmate records show Tal Alexander was at FDC Miami on Saturday.

Judge Lisette Reid in Miami rejected the lawyer’s promise of $115 million in real estate, including a Bal Harbor home owned by their Israeli father, Shlomy Alexander, a real estate developer and co-founder of a security company.

Reid listened Friday to testimony from FBI Special Agent Justine Atwood, who reported that the evidence showed a pattern, including text messages, videos, photos and the testimonies of about 40 women who did not know each other but described similar nightmares.

In Miami-Dade County, prosecutors have filed cases alleging Gang rape on New Year’s Eve 2016 and sexual battery in 2017 and 2021 against the twins. The 2016 case also involves 38-year-old Ohad “Hummus Hunk” Fisherman, whose attorney was on his honeymoon in Japan, according to the court.

The 2016 victim who claimed to have met one of the twins on Bumble, a free dating app, also filed a civil lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court on Thursday after the Alexander brothers were arrested. County Circuit Judge Mindy Glazer denied the twin bond Thursday.

On FridayCounty Circuit Judge Lody Jean awarded the twins provisional release in agreements that included a personal bond of $3 million for Oren Alexander and $2 million for Alon Alexander.

“My wife is nine months pregnant and could give birth to our first child at any time,” Oren Alexander said in court. “Her family lives in Brazil and she is counting on me to be with her during the birth.”

Both Oren and Alon Alexander marry professional models who are brunette and 6 feet tall. Last year, Vogue published photos from Oren Alexander’s wedding on Isla Morada Kamila Hansenfrom Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Brazil. She deleted her Instagram account after the arrest.

The indictment on conspiracy to commit sex trafficking and sex trafficking by force, cause or coercion, alleges that the three brothers’ crimes occurred at least in or about 2010 to about 2021.

Tal Alexander married Arielle Kogutthe founder of Celine Recruiting, last year after a short involvement. Alon Alexander had already done that married Shani Zigron in 2020. The model told Ocean Drive that year she had served in the Israeli army for two years. They have two children.

FBI Assistant Director James E. Dennehy said in a statement that the brothers were “predators” and that the cases would not have been possible without the “courage” of the victims.

US Attorney Damian Williams has been released a statement saying the federal investigation was “far from over” even though there was evidence showing the three brothers “repeatedly and violently sexually assaulted and raped dozens of victims.”

“If you have been a victim of the alleged sexual violence committed by Alon Alexander, Oren Alexander or Tal Alexander – or if you know anything about their alleged crimes – we urge you to come forward.”
