Millionaire mother’s shocking act at court hearing for her ‘gang rapist’ twin sons
The mother of a TV agent and his identical twin brother accused of gang rape urged her sons to smile during a preliminary court hearing.
Orly Alexander was seen encouraging their boys to put on a friendly face as a judge set bail for their sons Oren and Alon Alexander, both 37, at a combined $5 million.
The twins, along with their older brother Tal Alexander, 38, have been federally indicted on allegations that they drugged and raped dozens of women over an 11-year period.
All three brothers have pleaded not guilty to the crimes, which prosecutors say amount to a long-standing sex trafficking scheme.
At Oren and Alon’s first appearance on Thursday, the twins’ father Shlomy was also seen trying to give orders to his scandal-stricken sons.
Shlomy was seen appearing to encourage the boys to make eye contact, while his wife uttered ‘smiles’ as she grinned and blew a kiss.
The parents were later pictured frowning from the gallery with their arms folded.
However, Shlomy brightened up by the time they left as he had a big smile on his face moments after hearing the sickening accusations against his sons.

When Shlomy was asked in court how he was doing, he raised eyebrows with his response: “Great!”
During a hearing in a Miami-Dade court, Oren’s bail was set at $3 million, while Alon’s was set at $2 million.
Tal was ordered held without bail after appearing in federal court Friday.
The decision likely means the twins will also be denied bail when they appear in Miami federal court next week, as the proposed security package would have covered all three.
Federal prosecutor Lauren Astigarraga argued that if Tal, who is Jewish, were to flee to his parents’ home country of Israel on a private jet, it would prove difficult to impossible to extradite him back to the United States.
The 38-year-old faces a likely life sentence if convicted on all counts.
Judge Lisette Reid agreed, labeling Tal a flight risk as she rejected his family’s promise of $115 million in real estate to secure his release.
The Alexander brothers gained national attention after the allegations against them were made public months ago.

Oren and Tal Alexander had become stars in luxury real estate after co-founding their real estate company Official, which specialized in luxury real estate in Miami, New York and Los Angeles.
FBI Special Agent Justine Atwood testified Friday that about 40 women, largely unknown to each other, have made similar allegations that they were lured by the brothers to luxury vacation spots and homes in Florida and New York, drugged and then raped.
She said explicit videos, photos and text messages were exchanged between the brothers that substantiated the allegations.
Alexander’s attorney, Milton Williams Jr., argued that while the allegations are serious, the evidence is thin.
In arguing for his proposed nine-figure bail package, Williams said the family would lose all their wealth if either brother fled. He said Tal Alexander is married and has a two-week-old baby, making it unlikely he would flee.
After losing his bail plea, Alexander agreed to be transported to a federal prison in New York, where federal charges were filed Wednesday.
Earlier Friday, in state court, Circuit Judge Lody Jean granted his twin brothers’ bail requests, with their bail secured by their father’s home in Bal Harbour, Florida.
“I am confident that these are reasonable terms that you have all put in place,” Jean told the lawyers.

But the brothers still couldn’t be released because of the federal charges.
Authorities arrested the brothers Wednesday on sex crime charges in Miami and a federal sex trafficking case in New York City.
A federal indictment accuses the brothers of using their wealth to lure, drug, sexually assault and rape multiple women for more than a decade.
The Alexander twins are also charged by the state of Florida with three separate cases of alleged sexual battery.
Oren faces three separate charges, while Alon faces only one charge.
