According to the plaintiffs’ lawyer, two women raped each other several years ago in the course of two explosive lawsuits against the Alexander brothers, the wealthy real estate heiress and heir to the house. Around 30 other alleged victims have come forward with similar allegations.

“I have spoken to about 15 people who told me they were raped by the Alexander brothers, one (brother) or more, at various times in New York City, South Beach and also in other states,” attorney Evan Torgan told The Real Deal, which first reported on the lawsuits.

Torgan later told The Post that he doubled the number because more women were coming to him with similar reports about 36-year-old twins Oren and Alon Alexander of Miami Beach, Florida.

“I speak to new victims every day,” Torgan said.

It is the latest twist in the shocking story of the brothers’ sudden fall from grace, which began over the weekend when The Real Deal reported on incriminating complaints from alleged victims Kate Whiteman and Rebecca Mandel.

The multimillionaire brothers are accused of committing “heinous” acts that were “extreme and outrageous to such an extent that the act was cruel and intolerable in a civilized society,” according to court documents.

In her lawsuit, Whiteman claimed the brothers kidnapped her in 2012 and took her to a Hamptons party palace in Water Mill, Long Island, owned by flamboyant, cape-wearing banking heir and now recording artist Ivan Wilzig.

There, the brothers allegedly dragged her into a large bedroom where she was “sexually assaulted, abused, raped, held down, groped, harassed, beaten and groped by defendants Alon and Oren.”

In the second lawsuit, Mandel claimed, according to court documents, that Alon allegedly slipped drugs into her drink after she met the twins at a now-closed club in the Meatpacking District in 2010, when she was just 18 years old.

In her lawsuit, she claims that the brothers later lured her there under false pretenses and then raped her in her apartment.

“I am proud of what we are doing here,” Torgan added in a statement to the Washington Post. “And proud of all the people who have come forward with their stories – especially Kate Whiteman and Rebecca Mandel, who have done so with great courage.”

The Alexander brothers’ lawyer, Jim Ferraro, denied the allegations and portrayed the lawsuits as a blatant money-making scheme.

“We are confident that this matter will be decided in (their) favor because we have an extensive collection of hard evidence, including phone records, text messages, emails and other documents, the contents of which clearly refute these allegations,” he said in an earlier statement to the Post.

But Ferraro has not responded to further requests for comment, including one on Wednesday.

Despite the denials, there have already been concrete consequences for at least one of the men.

On Tuesday, one of the brothers left the company he co-founded because of the allegations. The company described the allegations as “extremely disturbing” in an internal email obtained by the Washington Post.

The lawsuits were filed under the New York Adult Survivors Act, which allows alleged victims of sexual violence to seek justice regardless of when the assaults occurred.

So far, no one else has filed a lawsuit against the twins, who live in Miami Beach and come from a real estate dynasty headed by their father, Shlomy Alexander.

But apparently more claims have surfaced on The Real Deal’s Instagram page, which is filled with comments from accounts claiming they have either been attacked by the Alexanders or know people who have, according to the outlet.
