Lawsuit alleges Oakland hotels ignored sex trafficking on their properties
Briefly

The woman alleges that hotel staff ignored clear signs of sex trafficking, turning a blind eye to her suffering while profiting from the illegal activities occurring on their premises.
For five years, she endured horrific conditions: drugging, beatings, and systematic abuse while staff at the hotels supposedly facilitated or overlooked her exploitation for monetary gain.
At the Welcome Inn, when she desperately asked front desk staff to call the police, they refused, effectively escalating her perilous situation and further isolating her.
Staff at Oakland's facilities reportedly allowed known traffickers to use their establishments without interference. This negligence reflects a fundamental failure to protect vulnerable individuals.
