An actress and comedian filed the fourth sexual assault lawsuit this summer against one-time real estate heavy hitter Oren Alexander on Friday.

Renee Willett’s lawsuit accuses Alexander of trapping her in his apartment nine years ago under the premises of viewing his luxury art collection before sexually assaulting her. Willett said filed her suit after reading the emotional accounts of 10 other women who alleged sexual misconduct claims against the wealthy, powerful, Alexander brothers in The New York Times this week.

Oren Alexander and his older brother, Tal, were once considered the “princes” of the luxury high-rise scene, but a series of lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct and drugging women for the past two decades has their kingdom crashing down.
