A well-placed source told The Post that lawyer Jim Ferraro’s decision to step down from the troubling Manhattan case was made at least partly because of his personal ties to the 36-year-old millionaire brothers — not to mention the avalanche of additional accusations that poured in after two women sued the twins over alleged sexual attacks.Alon and Oren Alexander party at a birthday bash at a Hamptons castle in 2011, the year before they allegedly raped a woman there.
Mandel says in her suit that she was 18 when the brothers took turns raping her at their Manhattan pad in 2010. Whiteman says in her court filing that she was raped by the twins in 2012 in an assault at a castle in the Hamptons on Long Island.
The two have been seen partying together in a photo, and Oren has publicly spoken about their close bond. In an interview with the Observer in 2009, he said, “With Jim, I jetted with him to Miami for a weekend. I jetted with him to Martha’s Vineyard for a weekend. I jetted with him to Aspen — that’s when the deal was put together.”At least 30 more women have come forward accusing the twins of rape after two alleged victims’ civil lawsuits, according to the plaintiffs’ lawyer.
