Tal Alexander, the brother of the real estate heirs, is also accused of rape in a new lawsuit

A third woman sued the wealthy real estate heirs Alexander twins for rape. This time, however, the alleged victim claimed that her older brother was also involved in the alleged crimes and tried to rape her again several years later.

The woman – Angelica Parker of New York City – alleged that twins Oren and Alon, along with their older brother Tal, conspired to rape her in a “coordinated sexual assault” in the brothers’ shared SoHo apartment 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 lawsuit said, but Parker screamed loudly enough for others to hear, which immediately stopped the alleged attack.

“With today’s lawsuit, we want to send the 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 Washington Post.

“We applaud Angelica’s courage in speaking out, as we have no doubt that the Alexanders will deploy an army of PR representatives and private investigators to launch a campaign to expose the victims.”

Parker’s lawsuit says she went to the brothers’ shared SoHo apartment with an unidentified friend in the fall of 2012 – and as soon as they walked through the door, the twins Oren and Alon began pressuring her to take ecstasy, the lawsuit says.

When the women refused, the brothers began pressuring them to have sex, the lawsuit says.

Parker’s friend reportedly felt “extremely uncomfortable” and ran away.

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

“After (the boyfriend) left the apartment, Ms. Parker was raped by Alon and Tal Alexander. It was a coordinated sexual assault planned and carried out by Oren Alexandar and his brothers,” the lawsuit states.

“Specifically, Alon Alexander raped Ms. Parker orally and vaginally,” the lawsuit continues.

“While he was vaginally raping Ms. Parker, Tal proceeded to orally rape Ms. Parker against her will, despite her very clear verbal protests and despite her inability to push him away, both due to her size and the fact that Alon was pinning her down with his body weight.”

Oren, who allegedly planned the entire event, sat and watched his brothers do so, the lawsuit says.

Eventually, Parker fought them off, ran out of the apartment and found her friend, the lawsuit says. But she kept meeting the brothers because they moved in the same social circles.

“During this time, the Alexander brothers made various defamatory statements about Ms. Parker and baselessly told their friends that they had had sex with her, without, of course, explaining that the entire incident was a staged gang rape,” the lawsuit states.

Several years later, Tal allegedly tried to rape her again, but she screamed and stopped his attack, according to the indictment.

A spokesman for Tal Alexander called Parker’s lawsuit a mere money-making scheme.

“It is unfortunate but entirely to be expected that blackmailers will step in to exploit the allegations against Tal’s brothers,” the spokesman said in a statement.

“However, Tal has done absolutely nothing wrong, and anyone who tries to spread outrageous lies in the hope of a quick payday will be disappointed.”

Parker’s lawsuit 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 accusing Oren and Alon, both 36, of raping them over a decade ago.

Since then, nearly 30 other women have come forward with similar claims, according to Whiteman and Mandel’s attorney.

The allegations have shaken the elite circles in which the wealthy brothers move – and Oren has already been pushed out of the brokerage company Official, which he founded together with 37-year-old Tal.

Evan Torgan, attorney for Whiteman and Mandel, said in a statement that his clients are “thrilled to have Angelica Parker support them in this fight.”

“Alexander’s behavior has gone on for far too long,” Torgan said. “They must be stopped. I was shocked when Tal, of all people, took on the role of official face.”

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

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