MIAMI—A federal judge ordered that a prominent real estate broker be held without bond Friday on sexual assault and trafficking charges, saying he is a flight risk as she rejected his family’s pledge of $115 million in real estate holdings to secure his release.

Magistrate Judge Lisette Reid’s ruling likely means that Tal Alexander’s brothers, twins Oren and Alon Alexander, will also be denied bail when they appear in Miami’s federal court next week as the proposed security package would have covered all three.
