First Accuser of Alexander Brothers Found Dead in Australia as Trial Nears

The disclosure lands days before the brothers’ Manhattan sex‑trafficking trial.

Overview

  • New South Wales officials confirmed that Kate Whiteman, 45, was found dead near Sydney in late 2025.
  • Accounts of the coroner’s status differ, with some reports citing an open inquiry triggered by doubts about natural causes and others stating the death is non‑suspicious and the file closed.
  • Whiteman’s March 2024 lawsuit accused twins Oren and Alon Alexander of a 2012 assault in the Hamptons and helped prompt additional complaints from other women.
  • A superseding federal indictment filed this week added a count of sexual abuse by physical incapacitation tied to a January 2012 cruise‑ship incident; the twins pleaded not guilty.
  • Jury selection is scheduled for Jan. 20 with trial set for Jan. 26 in Manhattan, and the three Alexander brothers remain held without bail while continuing to deny the allegations.
