Ohad Fisherman Cleared of Rape Charge: Attorney Jeffrey Sloman Discusses Alibi Evidence

Dropped Sexual Battery Charge

• 🎯 Ohad Fisherman, a co-defendant with the Alexander brothers, has had his sexual battery charge dropped by Miami-Dade prosecutors.
• ⚖️ The charge was dropped just before jury selection was set to begin, following the defense filing a notice of alibi.
• 💡 The alleged victim claimed Fisherman assisted the Alexander twins in a 2016 rape, but new evidence has shaken up the case.

Alibi Evidence: The Drone Video

• 🚁 A key piece of evidence was a drone video posted to Facebook by Fisherman, allegedly showing him on a boat.
• ⏳ The post, based on the sunset, was made approximately 27 minutes before the alleged victim arrived at the apartment.
• 🔑 This video served as the alibi defense, suggesting Fisherman was elsewhere at the time of the alleged assault.

Federal vs. State Prosecution

• 🏛️ Fisherman was charged by county prosecutors in Florida, while the Alexander brothers face federal trafficking charges in New York.
• 🚫 Federal prosecutors have been a sticking point, withholding crucial metadata from the drone video, which could have definitively proven its creation time.
• 🤝 The state attorney's office stated they could not prove the case against Fisherman beyond a reasonable doubt due to the alibi evidence casting doubt on his presence at the scene.

Impact on Fisherman's Life

• 📉 The allegations have devastated Fisherman's real estate business, as potential clients are hesitant to work with someone charged with rape.
• 💔 While he has supportive family and friends, the reputational damage is significant and will take time to repair.
• 🙏 Fisherman expressed relief and asserted his innocence, stating the charge was dropped because the state knew he did not commit the crime.

Connection to Alexander Brothers

• 🤝 Fisherman is not a cousin to the Alexander brothers, despite claims by the alleged victim and state attorney.
• 🌐 He was friends with the brothers from their time working at Douglas Elliman in New York and was in their orbit, but had little to no business dealings with them in South Florida.
• ❓ It is unlikely Fisherman will be called as a witness in the federal case against the Alexander brothers, as their allegations are unrelated, and his testimony would likely not benefit either side in the state case.
