Alexander Brothers Face Charges in Cruise Ship Assault Case

Federal prosecutors have expanded their case against Oren and Alon Alexander, charging them with sexually abusing a woman incapable of consent aboard a cruise ship in January 2012, as their trial for a two-decade sex trafficking scheme approaches. The indictment is part of a broader case involving allegations of drugging and assaulting women, which the brothers deny. Their defense attorneys argue that the new charge is flawed, while prosecutors plan to correct an omission in the indictment. The trial is set to begin on January 26, 2025, with the brothers currently detained in New York.
