One of the women who accused Oren and Alon Alexander of sexual assault has died, according to Australian police. The authorities reported the death of Whiteman, a plaintiff in lawsuits against the Alexander brothers, to the coroner for New South Wales on October 31, 2025. Her death occurred near Sydney and is currently under investigation; no cause of death has been determined.
Whiteman was one of two women who sued Oren and Alon Alexander under New York’s Adult Survivors Act. The Real Deal first reported on these lawsuits in June 2024, which led to more women coming forward with similar allegations against the twins and their older brother Tal. This resulted in their arrests in December 2024.
A spokesperson for the Alexanders stated that they learned about Whiteman’s death through media reports. Juda Engelmayer, speaking for the brothers, commented: “The decision to release this information publicly on the eve of trial invites obvious questions,” referencing federal sex trafficking charges that Oren and Alon are scheduled to face in New York starting January 26.
Whiteman filed her lawsuit just before the expiration of a special lookback window created by New York law, which allowed survivors to sue regardless of when alleged incidents took place. Music producer Ivan Wilzig was also named as a defendant but was not accused of rape. Previously, Whiteman had initiated legal action against the same three men in 2022 but did not proceed with a complaint at that time.
According to her complaint, Whiteman met Oren and Alon Alexander around 2008 in New York City and encountered them several times socially. She described an incident at a Hamptons nightclub in 2012 where she said Alon grabbed her outside and ushered her into a car with Oren. She alleged they took her to Sir Ivan’s Castle—owned by Wilzig—in Water Mill, where she claimed she was forced into compromising situations before being raped by the twins.
The Alexanders have denied all allegations made against them. They are set for trial later this month on federal sex trafficking charges involving accusations from prosecutors that between 2008 and 2021, Oren, Tal, and Alon conspired together to drug and sexually assault dozens of women—including minors.
In June, the brothers filed a defamation lawsuit against The Real Deal (TRD), disputing aspects of its coverage related to materials they provided about victims.
TRD Publisher Amir Korangy responded to those claims: “We are confident the courts will see this for what it is—a frivolous and cynical attempt to weaponize the legal system.”
Korangy also told The New York Times: “The Alexanders provided those materials off the record. We couldn’t verify, and it didn’t prove they did not assault her. It didn’t merit us not doing a story on the accusations.”
