Death of accuser casts shadow over trafficking case against Alexander brothers
TL;DR
The woman who first publicly accused high-profile twins Oren and Alon Alexander of sexual assault, Kate Whiteman, was found dead in Australia last year; a New South Wales coroner ruled the death not suspicious as the brothers face a criminal case on sex-trafficking charges that prosecutors say involve dozens of victims. The brothers deny all allegations and have been held without bail in Brooklyn ahead of a trial set to begin around late January. Civil lawsuits against the trio have multiplied, with more than a dozen accusers and ongoing investigations, while the FBI charged all three in December 2024 for alleged trafficking operations since 2010.
