Within the wake of a pair of explosive lawsuits claiming the rich actual estate-heir Alexander brothers raped two girls a number of years in the past, about 30 extra alleged victims have come ahead with comparable claims, in line with the lawyer representing the plaintiffs.
“I’ve spoken to roughly 15 individuals who say to me they have been raped by the Alexander brothers, one [brother] or extra, at varied occasions, in New York Metropolis, South Seashore and in different states as nicely,” legal professional Evan Torgan informed The Actual Deal, which first reported on the fits.

The multimillionaire brothers are accused of committing “heinous” acts that have been “excessive and outrageous to such an extent that the motion was atrocious and insupportable in a civilized society,” in line with courtroom filings.
In her swimsuit, Whiteman alleged the brothers kidnapped her in 2012 and introduced her to a Hamptons celebration palace in Water Mill, Lengthy Island, that’s owned by the flamboyant, cape-wearing, banking heir-turned-recording artist Ivan Wilzig.
There, the brothers allegedly dragged her into a big bed room the place she was “sexually assaulted, abused, raped, pinned, groped, harassed, battered, and fondled by defendants Alon and Oren.”

The brothers later raped her of their residence after luring her there beneath false pretenses, her lawsuit alleges.
“I’m pleased with what we’re doing right here,” Torgan added in an announcement to The Put up. “And pleased with all of the individuals who have come ahead with their story — particularly Kate Whiteman and Rebecca Mandel who did it with nice bravery.”
The Alexander brother’s legal professional, Jim Ferraro, has denied the allegations and painted the lawsuits as a blatant cash seize.
“We’re assured this matter shall be resolved in [their] favor given an in depth assortment of highly effective proof together with, telephone information, textual content messages, emails and different paperwork whose content material clearly debunks these claims,” he stated in an earlier assertion to The Put up.
However Ferraro has not responded to additional requests for remark, together with a Wednesday inquiry.
Regardless of the denials, there have already been concrete penalties for no less than one of many males.
On Tuesday, one of many brothers stepped away from the corporate he co-founded due to the allegations, which the agency described in an inside e mail obtained by The Put up as “extraordinarily disturbing.”
The lawsuits have been filed beneath the New York Grownup Survivors Act, which has let alleged survivors of sexual assault to hunt justice no matter when the assaults occurred.
Up to now, nobody else has filed a lawsuit in opposition to the twins, who dwell in Miami Seashore and hail from an actual property dynasty led by their father, Shlomy Alexander.
