Real-estate heirs’ brother Tal Alexander also accused of rape in new lawsuit



A third woman has sued the wealthy real estate-heir Alexander twins for rape — but this time, the alleged victim claimed their older brother also participated in the alleged crimes and tried to rape her again several years later.

The woman — Angelica Parker of New York City — claimed that twins Oren and Alon, along with older brother Tal, conspired to rape her in a “coordinated sexual assault” inside the brothers’ shared apartment in SoHo shortly after she met them in the fall of 2012, according to the lawsuit filed Tuesday.

Tal tried to sexually assault her again several years later, the Manhattan Supreme Court complaint alleged. But Parker screamed loud enough that others could hear, which stopped the alleged attack in its tracks.

“Today’s lawsuit is intended to send a message that the law applies even to the very wealthy and well-connected, including the Alexanders,” Parker’s attorney, Michael J. Willemin, said in a statement to The Post.

“We applaud Angelica’s bravery in coming forward, as we have no doubt that the Alexanders will amass an army of PR reps and private investigators to launch a victim shaming campaign.”

Parker’s suit said she’d gone with an unidentified friend to the brothers’ shared apartment in SoHo in the autumn of 2012 — and as soon as they walked through the door, twins Oren and Alon started pushing them to take Ecstasy, the suit said.

After the women refused, the brothers began pressuring them for sex, according to the suit.

Parker’s friend allegedly got “extremely uncomfortable” and took off.

But Parker stayed — and claimed she endured a horrific ordeal that ended with the brothers raping her “orally and vaginally,” according to the suit.

“After [the friend] left the apartment, Ms. Parker was raped by Alon and Tal Alexander, together, in a coordinated sexual assault that was planned and facilitated by Oren Alexandar along with his brothers,” the suit said.

“Specifically, Alon Alexander orally and vaginally raped Ms. Parker,” the suit continued.

“While he was vaginally raping Ms. Parker, Tal proceeded to forcibly orally rape Ms. Parker against her will, despite her very clear verbal protests and inability to force him away on account of both her size and the fact Alon was holding her down with his body weight.”

Oren, who allegedly planned the entire event, sat and watched as his brothers did this, the suit claimed.

Eventually, Parker fought them off, ran from the apartment and found her friend, the suit said. But she kept running into the brothers because they ran in the same social circles.

“During this time, the Alexander brothers made various defamatory statements about Ms. Parker, gratuitously telling her friends that they had sex with her, without of course explaining that the whole event was an orchestrated group rape,” the suit said.

Several years later, Tal allegedly tried to rape her again. But she screamed, and effectively ended his attack, according to the suit.  

A spokesman for Tal Alexander decried Parker’s lawsuit as a money-grab. 

“It is unfortunate but fully expected that shakedown artists are going to line up given the allegations against Tal’s brothers,” the spokesman said in a statement.

“However, Tal has done absolutely nothing wrong, and anyone hoping to peddle outrageous lies in hopes of a quick payday are going to find themselves disappointed.”

Parker’s suit is another dark chapter in the Alexanders’ story, which took a shocking turn earlier this month when two other alleged victims — Kate Whiteman and Rebecca Mandel — filed similarly explosive lawsuits that accused Oren and Alon, both 36, of raping them more than a decade ago.

Since then, almost 30 other women have come forward to make similar claims, according to the lawyer representing Whiteman and Mandel.

The allegations have rocked the ritzy circles in which the wealthy brothers run — and Oren has already been pushed out of Official, the brokerage firm he co-founded with 37-year-old Tal.

Evan Torgan, attorney for both Whiteman and Mandel, said in a statement that his clients are “thrilled to be joined in this fight by Angelica Parker.”

“The Alexander’s behavior has gone on way too long,” Torgan said. “They must be stopped.  I was shocked to see Tal, of all people, taking over as the face Official.”

Parker is seeking an undisclosed amount of compensatory and punitive damages.

The twins’ lawyers did not respond to a request for comment.
