- Star real estate broker Tal Alexander takes leave from brokerage firm after rape allegation.
- A woman accused Tal and his brother Alon of raping her in 2012 while another brother Oren watched.
- Oren also recently stepped down from brokerage firm Official Partners amid rape accusations.
Tal Alexander, a real estate agent whose star-studded résumé includes the sale of America's priciest ever home, is stepping away from the brokerage firm he helped found after a woman alleged in a civil lawsuit that he raped her more than a decade ago.
In a statement provided to Business Insider, an attorney for Alexander said he would "take a leave from" the real estate sales firm Official Partners "to focus fully on clearing his name."
Alexander's lawyer, Deanna Paul, is also seeking to move the case against him from New York state civil court to federal court.
