A big shot developer whose twin sons Oren and Alon Alexander allegedly drugged and raped dozens of women offered a puzzling grin after he left their court appearance Thursday.
Shlomy Alexander flashed the odd smile and said “great” when asked by a reporter how he was doing following his 37-year-old sons’ arrests, according to NBC 6 footage.
The twin brothers, and their older sibling Tal Alexander, 38, were all hit with federal charges on Wednesday by Manhattan federal prosecutors. Oren and Alon are also facing state-level charges in Florida that landed them in a Miami court on Thursday.
Oren, a broker who co-owns a luxury real estate firm with the older brother, and Alon, donned green protective vests as they were denied bond Thursday because they were deemed potential flight risks by a judge.
Oren unsuccessfully pleaded to be released, insisting he needed to be with his wife who is nine-months pregnant.
Tal Alexander, 38, has a detention hearing set for Friday.
The three brothers were all taken into custody Wednesday morning in the Miami Beach area and were federally charged with conspiracy to commit sex trafficking and sex trafficking by force.
The twins are facing state sexual battery charges tied to three alleged assaults, officials said.
The trio allegedly raped dozens of victims over the span of a decade, including women they drugged after meeting them at bars and nightclubs, according to the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.
Oren and Tal co-founded the posh real estate firm Official in 2022 after working at brokerage giant Douglas Elliman.
Meanwhile Alon has been an executive for Kent Security, which is a successful private security firm started by Shlomy and his wife Orly Alexander, who is the company’s CFO.
Shlomy is a well-known developer whose name has shown up in numerous news reports for building ritzy homes.
The parents, and a legal rep, declined comment on the charges – outside of the one worded answer from Shlomy — after leaving court, according to NBC 6.
Lawyers for Oren and Alon both denied the charges while an attorney for Tal declined comment to the Associated Press Thursday.
The brothers are eventually expected to appear in Manhattan federal court.
