Lindsey Acree, an artist, has filed a civil lawsuit against Miami brothers Oren and Tal Alexander, accusing them of drugging and raping her in 2011. Despite her desire for anonymity in her legal battle, a New York judge ordered the release of her name. Acree expresses her determination to expose the alleged history of exploitation by the brothers not only for herself but also for other survivors. She joined over 30 women in similar lawsuits, and her actions highlight the broader issue of sexual assault and systemic abuse of women by powerful figures in business.
Fortunately, I'm in a position where I will never need money from anyone, certainly not theirs. But these men built their business using women as the bricks for that foundation.
In making this decision to fight for them, I found comfort in one small mercy—that my name would not be associated with the most painful, horrible thing that has ever been done to me.
