MIAMI — Ohad Fisherman talked about the Miami Beach sexual battery case against him that fell apart with an alibi.
Fisherman sat next to his wife, Jordan Royt Fisherman, during a news conference on Tuesday in Miami-Dade County after prosecutors dropped the case on Monday.
The case had forced the newlyweds to cut their honeymoon short in Japan before he surrendered in December at the courthouse facing the sexual battery charge.
His attorneys notified the court of the alibi on July 2, and Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle announced on Monday that she was dropping the case because of it.
“They were forced to say what I’ve known since day one: I am innocent. There was no deal. The state dropped the charge because they knew I didn’t do this,” Fisherman said on Tuesday.
A woman told police officers that twin brothers Alon and Oren Alexander raped her while a man held her down on New Year’s Eve 2016, in Miami Beach.
His defense attorneys reported Fisherman, 39, was not that man since the metadata on a video published on Facebook placed him on a boat along the Intracoastal Waterway.
“This case was a lie, a lie told for money, a lie without a shred of proof, a lie with no witnesses,” Jeffrey Sloman, Fisherman’s defense attorney, said during a news conference.
Fisherman, a real estate broker, was a co-defendant in the Miami Beach Police Department’s case in Miami-Dade County.
About a dozen women accused brothers Oren and Tal Alexander, both real estate brokers, and Oren’s twin Alon Alexander, who works in security, of using drugs to sexually assault them, according to a federal indictment.
The Alexander brothers have pleaded not guilty in all cases.
