Maria Suska will never forget the dazed, horrified feeling that she said engulfed her as she staggered out of Miami’s luxury Versace Mansion, where she claims she had been lured to a party by sexual predator Oren Alexander and brutally raped.

‘I was crying, I remember I was very, very shocked. I felt dirty. I felt that maybe it’s my fault. I was blaming myself that maybe I missed the red flags and I shouldn’t have went to the party,’ she claimed of what she said was the traumatic evening. ‘I blamed myself for a long, long time.’

Now, she tells the Daily Mail, she can finally feel safe again and free of that shame, with real estate mogul Oren, 38, and his older brother Tal, 39, and twin Alon behind bars and awaiting sentencing after being convicted last Monday of ten counts of sexual abuse, exploitation and trafficking.

‘I felt a little more safe, and I felt that maybe finally justice for all these years will come and they will be held accountable for what they have done not only [to] me, but all these women,’ she said.

Suska was not among the victims who testified at the brother’s trial in New York’s federal court. She alleges that Oren raped her in 2014. She did not report it and by the time criminal charges were brought against the brothers in 2024, the alleged offense was outside Florida’s statute of limitations.

But she hailed last week’s verdict as a validation of sorts. It came after a harrowing trial in which the jury heard how the three brothers had drugged and raped victims, sometimes filming the assaults, bragging to one another about their sordid crimes and taking part in gang rape.

‘I’m relieved that the court recognized the seriousness of what happened and held them accountable,’ said Suska, now 40. ‘This verdict validates the experiences of me and others who were deceived and exploited.

‘My hope is that it sends a message that this kind of conduct will not be tolerated and that victims’ voices matter.’

The brothers have maintained their innocence throughout and have said that any sexual contact was consensual.

For many years, Suska claimed, her voice had been silenced by fear. Today, she explains how women like her were intimidated by the resources and social standing of the Alexander brothers, whose multi-billion-dollar real estate empire gave them not just immense wealth but significant power.

The brothers lived a life of luxury, chartering private planes and hiring hotels for exclusive parties, all the while engaging in a reign of sexual terror with what they thought was impunity.

‘They were very powerful, and everybody was scared to come out,’ said Suska.

Back in 2014, Suska was a young nurse starting out in her career. She also modelled part time and was enjoying Miami’s social scene. She and Oren had mutual friends and one day he messaged her on Facebook complimenting her profile picture.

She checked out his profile and, seeing a young, handsome man agreed to pass on her phone number. The pair texted intermittently for a few weeks, before, she said, Oren invited Suska out to dinner.

When she arrived at the upscale Zuma waterfront restaurant, Suska was surprised to find ten other women and two more men at the table. She said she was ‘shocked and taken aback’ that it was not just a dinner date with the two of them.

Across the trial jurors heard how the brothers had a habit of inviting women on what they thought would be intimate trips or dates only for them to find they were in the company of many – usually male – partiers.

‘It was kind of awkward, but I decided to stay,’ Suska recalled.

Suska described Oren’s behaviour as ‘confident,’ as he chatted with ease to the women at the table. She said at the end of the meal, he asked if she would like to go to a party.

Other members of the group were going too, so Suska hopped in his car, excited at the prospect of a glamorous evening at a fabled mansion once owned by Gianni Versace – and the site of his infamous 1997 murder.

As soon as they arrived, Suska said, she and the other women in the car were asked to leave their phones at the gate, but Suska pushed aside any doubts and entered a stunning patio area with a swimming pool, where a crowd of mainly female partygoers were milling around.

Despite what she recalled as a general vibe of arrogance, Oren had acted like a gentleman thus far so, when he asked if she would like to go to the villa’s watchtower to look at the view, Suska agreed.

As they walked upstairs, she felt a mild discomfort when she saw women disappearing into bedrooms with men but she dismissed any misgivings saying: ‘I thought that maybe, you know, it’s consensual.’

But as soon as they got to the darkened viewing area, Suska claims that Oren suddenly pushed hard against her, grabbing her shoulders and forcefully kissing her.

‘I push him a little bit, and he didn’t like that. I wanted to stop him – his whole demeanor changed,’ she claimed. ‘His eyes were super intense, like he was possessed, I would say very, very angry, and then he pushes me down, and that’s when the assault happens.’

Suska said the alleged assault took around five minutes, ‘but for me, it felt like a long time.’

When the alleged rape was over, she said Oren’s rage-filled face had transformed back to the smiling, charming mask he wore earlier in the evening.

‘[He went from] a completely different person, from being very angry like he wanted to hurt you, to like nothing happened,’ according to Suska.

She claims he told her, ‘Oh that was good,’ and pulled his trousers on and walked off, leaving a stunned Suska behind trying to process what happened.

‘I was frozen. I was just thinking, did this actually happen to me?’ she said. ‘I was very scared that maybe he was going to go back and come back with somebody else and do the same thing again. I was in panic mode, so I tried to put myself together, and I ran.’

Suska went to the security booth and got her phone back and went home in tears. While she told her therapist and her mother, she said she was too afraid to go to the police.

Oren’s legal team has previously denied Suska’s allegations of rape, citing the fact she did not report anything at the time, sought no medical attention and there was no physical evidence of any crime having ever taken place.

Suska has not brought a civil suit against him. She said she decided to speak out when she saw the news that Oren and his two brothers were all facing criminal charges for sexual assault.

‘I clicked on that story, and I was reading everything, and I’m like, “Oh my gosh, that means I wasn’t the only one”,’ she said.

‘All this time, I thought maybe I was the only one that was attacked. So I felt shocked and that it wasn’t only him but his brothers, three of them, that was very, very shocking to me.’

Today, she calls the brothers ‘monsters’ and is thankful they are facing between 15 years and to life in prison. Sentencing for the trio is due in August. But she said it also feels like a life sentence is hanging over her and the other victims too.

‘We have to live with the trauma. It never really goes away. You learn to live with it, but it’s something I will have for the rest of my life. They took a lot from me. They took my self-esteem. That was hard for me to rebuild,’ she said.

‘I still get flashbacks, sometimes stress, sometimes I can’t sleep. Many, many things will be forever in me. It doesn’t completely just go away; it doesn’t heal just because they’re in jail.’
