Twin heirs Oren and Alon Alexander allegedly sexually assaulted two women, including one whom they took turns raping at a Hamptons castle, according to explosive Manhattan lawsuits.

A lawyer for the plant’s businessmen quickly dismissed the allegations to the Post on Monday, saying it was nothing more than a multimillion-dollar restructuring attempt.

The two civil complaints, filed in March, relate to alleged heinous attacks that occurred in 2010 and 2012.

Oren, a prominent figure at the Side-backed brokerage firm Official, and his twin brother Alon, an executive at a private security firm, are named by two women who say the brothers have a troubling history of assault together.

One of the women claims in court documents that the brothers raped her at the infamous “Sir Ivan’s Castle” party palace in Watermill, LI, and while the other claims she was only 18 when She was attacked after being drugged by the twins in a Meatpacking District. hotspot.

The lawsuits were filed after New York’s law allowing alleged survivors to sue for past sexual assaults was extended.

The lawsuits paint an allegedly chilling picture of Alon and Oren, with the latter leading the high-flying Alexander team with a third brother. The firm has overseen more than $7 billion in real estate transactions in New York, South Florida and beyond since Oren left his longtime firm Douglas Elliman in 2022 to start the business.

Court records detail harrowing instances of violence by the twins, including taking turns raping the plaintiffs, leaving the victims with lasting trauma.

The Alexanders’ attorney, Jim Ferraro of the Ferraro Law Firm, vehemently denied the accusations.

“This lawsuit was made public after (the Alexanders) chose not to give in to a demand for tens of millions of dollars,” Ferarro said in a statement to The Post. “We are confident that this case will be resolved in their favor, given a vast collection of powerful evidence, including phone recordings, text messages, emails and other documents whose content clearly debunks these claims.” »

The New York Adult Survivors Act – which took effect on November 24, 2022, and was set to end on November 24, 2023 – allowed alleged survivors of sexual assault to seek justice, regardless of when the assaults took place. The window to file lawsuits was later extended to March 2025, allowing for the prosecution of the Alexanders.

The documents indicate the women did not file a report with police at the time of the alleged assaults.

The attorneys representing the women, from the New York-based firm Torgan Cooper & Aaron, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Post.

Rebecca Mandel’s complaint recounts her alleged nightmarish encounter with the twins.

The then-18-year-old says in her lawsuit that she met Oren and Alon at the now-defunct SL club Meatpacking District in 2009 and that in 2010 Alon spiked her drink . The brothers then raped her in their apartment after luring her there under false pretenses, according to her lawsuit.

The twins assured her they would “just hang out for a little while,” her complaint states. Once inside, Mandel claims in her lawsuit, the twins cornered her and raped her in an act described as “extreme and outrageous to such an extent that the action was atrocious and intolerable in a civilized society.”

In another complaint filed the same day in March, Kate Whiteman alleges a 2012 assault at the infamous “Sir Ivan’s Castle” party palace in the Hamptons, a home owned by artist Ivan Wilzig, who is also named in the lawsuit for negligence. Wilzig did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Post.

Whiteman’s lawsuit says she was dragged by Alon into an SUV where Oren was waiting, taken to the castle and assaulted by the brothers despite her attempts to escape.

Ferraro said The Real Deal websitewho first reported the prosecution, said the case was “totally fabricated” and predicted it would collapse after Whitman’s deposition.

Ferraro also called Mandel’s lawsuit “very bizarre,” expressing his long-standing trust in the Alexanders, having used Oren as a real estate agent for years.

Wilzig’s attorneys decided to move Whiteman’s case against him to Suffolk County, where his home is located.

The Alexander twins, who now live in Miami Beach, come from a real estate dynasty led by their father, Shlomy Alexander. Their brother Tal, another high-profile broker, remains uninvolved in these allegations, focusing on their projects such as the Raleigh-branded Rosewood condo in Miami Beach and the Dolce & Gabbana-branded condo in Brickell.

The twins have until August 19 to respond to the lawsuit.
