Ohad Fisherman Speaks Out After Dropped Sexual Battery Charges
Real estate broker Ohad Fisherman recently addressed the media regarding the dismissal of sexual battery charges against him. These allegations were connected to an incident involving twin brothers Oren and Alon Alexander.
Press Conference Highlights
On Wednesday morning, Fisherman and his legal team held a press conference to celebrate the end of his legal troubles. The event showcased a photograph of the alleged victim with her friends and sisters, taken shortly after the alleged incident. Notably present were the attorneys for the Alexander brothers, Edward O’Donnell and Joel Denaro, as well as Alon Alexander’s wife, Shani.
Key Statements
-
Ohad Fisherman expressed that his case reflects a failure within the legal system, stating, “This shows what can happen when the system breaks down.”
- Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle announced the decision to drop the charges against Fisherman just as his trial was set to commence. She stated that the prosecution could not conclusively disprove his alibi, which was supported by drone footage.
Alibi and Evidence
Fisherman maintained he was aboard a boat in the Intracoastal Waterway during the alleged assault. The drone video, which he had shared on social media, provided necessary evidence that corroborated his claims.
Rundle declared:
"Given the prosecution’s inability to conclusively disprove the alibi, we determined in good faith that we could not prove the case against Ohad Fisherman."
Ongoing Legal Matters for the Alexanders
While the charges against Fisherman have been dropped, the state continues pursuing sexual battery charges against Oren and Alon Alexander. The twin brothers are currently in federal custody, facing a sex trafficking trial slated for early next year.
Background on the Case
The allegations against Fisherman claimed he assisted the Alexanders in assaulting a woman at a Miami Beach apartment on New Year’s Eve in 2016. Fisherman has consistently denied any involvement and emphasized that he had no plea deals or compromises with the state.
During a highly emotional press conference, Fisherman thanked his family and expressed relief at the resolution of his case. He remarked on the profound impact these allegations have had on his life, stating, “I’ve been dragged through the mud, arrested and labeled a monster. The damage done to me and my family is huge.”
A Challenging Journey Ahead
Fisherman, whose professional connections with the Alexanders spanned years, has faced a tumultuous period, including being misidentified as a relative of the Alexanders during early media reports. While he was honeymooning in Japan at the time of the Alexander brothers’ arrests, Fisherman has since clarified that he is not involved in their ongoing federal case.
Final Thoughts
As the story unfolds, Fisherman’s experience serves as a glaring reminder of the challenges posed by legal battles and public scrutiny. The judicial outcomes for the Alexander brothers continue to develop as authorities prepare for their scheduled trial.
