First Accuser of Oren, Alon Alexander in Rape Case Found Dead

In a tragic development, the first accuser of Oren and Alon Alexander, a pair of twins facing serious sexual assault allegations, was found dead in Sydney, Australia. The deceased, identified as Whiteman, was 45 years old at the time of her passing.

Background on the Allegations

Whiteman was one of two women who initiated lawsuits against the Alexander brothers under New York’s Adult Survivors Act. This legislation enabled survivors to file claims against their alleged attackers, irrespective of when the incidents occurred. The act established a lookback period from November 23, 2022, to November 23, 2023, allowing multiple survivors to come forward with allegations.

Whiteman filed her lawsuit just one day before this period expired, also naming music producer Ivan Wilzig in the case but not accusing him of sexual assault. Prior to this, she had made an unsuccessful attempt to sue the same trio in 2022 by filing a summons without proceeding further.

Details of the Allegations Against the Alexanders

Whiteman’s allegations detail an incident that allegedly took place in 2012 after encountering Oren and Alon in New York City. She claimed that Alon forcibly led her to a vehicle while at a nightclub in the Hamptons, taking her to a party at Sir Ivan’s Castle, a property owned by Wilzig.

• Incident Details:
  • Alon Alexander allegedly grabbed Whiteman outside the nightclub.
  • Whiteman’s phone was reportedly locked away upon arriving at the mansion.
  • She claimed the twins forced her to change into a sarong and assaulted her when she attempted to flee.

Investigation and Legal Proceedings

Whiteman’s death is currently under investigation, and the cause has not been disclosed. Her attorney, Evan Torgan, did not respond to inquiries regarding her passing.

The Alexander brothers, who have consistently denied all allegations against them, face ongoing federal charges related to sex trafficking. Prosecutors allege that from 2008 to 2021, the trio engaged in a conspiracy involving the drugging, sexual assault, and rape of multiple women, some of whom were minors.

In June 2024, the brothers filed a defamation lawsuit against The Real Deal, which initially reported on the allegations. They claim the publication excluded certain materials aimed at discrediting the victims’ accounts. Publisher Amir Korangy of The Real Deal has stated his belief that the claims are frivolous, defending the publication’s decision to report on Whiteman’s accusations.

As the legal proceedings unfold, the case continues to draw significant media attention, shedding light on issues of sexual assault and survivor advocacy.
