A lawsuit filed by a woman, identified as Jane AB Doe, claims she was a victim of sex trafficking at various hotels, including Motel 6 and Red Roof Inn, between 2012 and 2014. At just 13 years old, she ran away from child protective services and met a pimp who forced her into prostitution. The lawsuit asserts that hotel chains are liable for her abuse because employees reportedly witnessed the trafficking taking place and failed to act. It argues that these corporations benefit from the income generated by sex traffickers, raising significant concerns regarding their responsibility under federal law.
"Often, hotel employees would not only witness Jane AB Doe being trafficked, but they would actively help her trafficker perpetrate the crime, and on some occasions, would even watch Jane AB Doe as she was being raped or participate in the rape themselves."
"The lawsuit alleges that Motel 6 franchisor G6 Hospitality LLC, Wyndham Hotel Group and Red Roof Inn are liable for her forced servitude because hotel workers knew what was happening."
