Lawyers across the country are currently investigating allegations of human trafficking, sex trafficking, and labor trafficking in hotels, motels, and other hospitality settings.
The investigation covers a wide range of hotel chains across the United States and directly confronts claims that these establishments either turned a blind eye to or actively facilitated sexual abuse, forced sexual activity, and human trafficking.
The aim of these lawsuits is to secure justice for victims of human trafficking by holding hotels and motels accountable for their roles in facilitating or ignoring exploitation.
Hotel Human Trafficking Lawsuits seek to not only provide financial compensation for the survivors’ suffering and loss but also aim to enforce systemic changes within the hospitality industry to prevent these tragic situations from occurring in the future.
Through targeted litigation, victims can find their voice and the opportunity to address the violations of their rights and dignity.
The ultimate goal of the Hotel Human Trafficking Lawsuit is to ensure that those who have endured sexual abuse and human trafficking are acknowledged, compensated, and supported while also promoting changes towards safer, more ethical practices in the hospitality sector.

The Hotel Human Trafficking Lawsuit is ongoing.
A new bipartisan effort, the HOTEL Act of 2024 (HR 9681), was introduced by Reps. Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) to strengthen federal measures aimed at combating human trafficking in hotels.
This critical legislation focuses on empowering hotel staff to identify and respond to human trafficking by providing free training and resources, as well as safeguarding employees who report suspected trafficking from retaliation.
The HOTEL Act mandates that federal agencies give travel preferences to hotels that voluntarily train their employees to recognize signs of trafficking.
The goal is to ensure that hotel staff are equipped to prevent exploitation and assist survivors.
This bill has garnered support from key anti-trafficking organizations like the American Hotel and Lodging Association (AHLA), PACT, and Hope for Justice, emphasizing the significant role hotels play in spotting and reporting suspicious activity.
Hotels have long been hotspots for trafficking, making it vital that employees are knowledgeable and prepared to act.
The HOTEL Act, if passed, will require federal employees to stay at hotels that prioritize training and education on human trafficking, a move supporters believe will have a transformational impact on combating exploitation within the lodging industry.
If you or somebody you care about suffered abuse in a human trafficking situation facilitated by a hotel, you may be eligible to file a claim.

Several hotel chains, including Extended Stay America, Marriott, Hilton, and Red Roof Inn, face lawsuits for their alleged role in allowing sex trafficking to occur on their properties.
These lawsuits are gaining traction following the implementation of the Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2022, which holds hotels liable if trafficking occurs on their premises, whether they are aware of it or not, as long as they benefit from the illegal activities in some way.
One notable case involved a Dallas teen in an Oklahoma City hotel owned by Texas-based Extended Stay America.
The lawsuit alleges that hotel staff ignored clear signs of trafficking, including the presence of the 15-year-old being escorted by two adult men while visibly distressed and the sight of men patrolling the hallways with weapons.
In a separate case, a trafficking survivor under the alias “Jane Doe” sued major hotel chains.
The lawsuit claims these hotels ignored obvious signs of trafficking, such as frequent male visitors to a single room and suspicious payment methods, including the use of cash or pre-paid credit cards.
The hotels face growing pressure to implement stronger anti-trafficking measures.
Nonprofits like Unbound Now are working to educate hotel staff in North Texas on how to identify signs of trafficking, such as when a trafficker answers questions for the victim or when a guest requests multiple rooms for several people.
Initiatives like the “Not in My Hotel” project, scheduled for July 2025, will further focus on educating hotel employees to take proper action if trafficking is suspected.

The Hotel Human Trafficking Lawsuit is ongoing.
A lawsuit has been filed against Tacoma Hotel Motel LLC, the operator of a Quality Inn & Suites in Tacoma, Washington, accusing the hotel of ignoring clear signs of sex trafficking between 2019 and 2021.
The plaintiff, identified as A.H., claims that the hotel management knowingly allowed her to be trafficked for sex on the premises, renting rooms to her trafficker despite evident red flags, such as frequent visitors and suspicious activities.
The lawsuit argues that the hotel benefited financially from the illegal activities and failed to enforce anti-trafficking policies, contributing to A.H.’s prolonged victimization.
The case is brought under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA), which permits trafficking victims to seek damages from entities that profit from such ventures.
A.H. is seeking compensatory and punitive damages for the severe physical and psychological harm she endured.
If you or somebody you care about suffered abuse in a human trafficking situation facilitated by a hotel, you may be eligible to file a claim.

Multiple Las Vegas casinos, including Mandalay Bay, The Venetian, and MGM Grand, are named in a lawsuit alleging they permitted sex trafficking operations on their properties.
The lawsuit, filed on behalf of an anonymous plaintiff, claims the casinos violated several laws by ignoring clear signs of trafficking.
The anonymous plaintiff was trafficked at age 14 in 2006.
According to the lawsuit, traffickers forced her to gamble with a fake ID while seeking customers on the casino floors.
The complaint alleges that the plaintiff’s purpose in the casinos would have been obvious to staff and patrons, but employees chose to ignore her plight to avoid inconvenience and upsetting clients.
Sex trafficking remains a persistent issue in casinos across Las Vegas and the United States.
Recent incidents include the arrest of a couple at The Strat Hotel in Las Vegas in December 2023 for trafficking a minor and similar charges against a couple in Missouri in February 2024.
In response to the lawsuit, the casinos deny responsibility and have moved to dismiss the case, arguing it exceeds the statute of limitations.

The first sex trafficking trial against a national hotel chain has concluded with a settlement.
Eleven women who were sexually trafficked at two Red Roof Inn locations in Georgia have reached an agreement after five years of litigation.
The lawsuit involved incidents at the Red Roof Inn Plus in Buckhead and the Red Roof Inn Plus on Windy Hill Road in Smyrna between 2009 and 2018.
The plaintiffs alleged that hotel employees were aware of the exploitation but did nothing to stop it, instead allowing it to continue to rent rooms.
Employees allegedly acted as lookouts and warned traffickers of potential risks.
The settlement was reached mid-trial, with Red Roof Inn agreeing to terms without admitting any responsibility.
The settlement amount has not been disclosed, but the plaintiffs expressed satisfaction with the outcome.
This case is part of a larger wave of lawsuits against hotel chains, with over 1,700 women claiming sexual trafficking at various establishments.
Federal lawsuits have also been filed against Hilton, Motel 6, Best Western, Super 8, and others.
The lawsuit against Red Roof Ins. was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia (Atlanta Division).

Red Roof Inn is facing a slew of federal lawsuits across the United States, with victims of sex trafficking accusing the hotel chain of ignoring and profiting from their abuse.
Over 42 lawsuits have been initiated, with hundreds more victims preparing to file claims.
These lawsuits highlight egregious cases of commercial sex work facilitated at various Red Roof Inn locations, where traffickers operated openly, often under the overlooked or ignored signs by hotel staff.
The scope of these lawsuits spans 39 states and at least 117 hotels.
Many victims, including minors, were reportedly visible to hotel staff but no interventions were made.
Incidents described in the lawsuits include victims being malnourished, under strict control of traffickers, and subjected to repeated abuse, all while hotel operations continued undisturbed.
Additionally, the nation’s first sex trafficking trial against a national brand has concluded with a settlement.
The lawsuit against Red Roof Inn involved 11 survivors who accused the hotel chain of knowingly facilitating prostitution and sex trafficking at two of its Atlanta properties in Smyrna and Buckhead from 2009 to 2018.
Testimonies during the trial revealed that multiple hotel employees either assisted traffickers directly or ignored the ongoing sex trafficking to maximize profits from room bookings.
Corporate employees from Red Roof Inn admitted in their testimonies that they were aware of the sex trafficking activities, including those involving minors, which had been occurring at these hotels for years.
However, the plaintiffs and their attorneys assert that the widespread nature of the incidents suggests a systemic issue rather than isolated cases.

Lawsuits against hotels for human trafficking are part of a growing legal effort to address tragic exploitation that has occurred within hotel and motel establishments across the United States.
Lawsuits claim that various hotel chains have either knowingly allowed their premises to be used for trafficking or have failed to take necessary steps to prevent such activities.
With mounting evidence suggesting that hotels and motels are favored sites for traffickers, the lawsuits aim to hold these businesses accountable for the harm suffered by victims.
Allegations include negligence in spotting and reporting signs of trafficking, such as excessive visitor traffic to certain rooms, minors checking in without ID, or payments made in cash or via prepaid cards.
Significant hotel brands have been named in these lawsuits.
Survivors are seeking not only monetary compensation for the damages they have endured but also the implementation of policies and training to detect and prevent future instances of trafficking.
Both employees in the hospitality industry and regulators are critical in combating human trafficking, and there is an urgent need for systemic changes to prevent these situations, report crimes to authorities, and ensure the safety of vulnerable populations.
Through these lawsuits, there is a push for a deeper understanding of human trafficking’s dynamics and for establishing more robust protections against exploitation in the hospitality sector.
If you’ve been a victim of human trafficking in a hotel or motel, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit and seek compensation.

Several hotel chains are currently under investigation for their alleged involvement in human trafficking activities on their premises.
These lawsuits aim to hold these establishments accountable for either turning a blind eye to or directly facilitating the exploitation of individuals.
The following hotel chains have been are being investigated for inclusion in Human Trafficking Lawsuits:
Past lawsuits against hotels for their role in human trafficking have set precedents for accountability and justice.
Notable cases have resulted in substantial settlements, which indicate the recognition of hotels’ responsibilities to prevent and address trafficking on their premises.
In late 2023, Red Roof Inn settled with women who were trafficked in metro Atlanta hotels, with lawsuits claiming that hotel employees knew about crimes being committed at the establishment.
The lawsuit claimed that traffickers relied on hotel staff to notify them if police were in the area and accepted money and drugs in exchange for serving as a lookout.
In February 2023, Days Inn agreed to pay $24.5 million to eight underaged victims of human trafficking in a Northeast Philadelphia hotel.
High-profile cases involving major chains like Hilton, Marriott, and Wyndham have not only brought substantial attention to the issue but also demonstrated the legal vulnerabilities of hospitality businesses that fail to safeguard against trafficking activities.
These legal investigations remain ongoing.
No, there is not a class action lawsuit for human trafficking in hotels and hospitality chains.
These cases are currently being considered for consolidation into a multidistrict litigation (MDL).
Multidistrict litigation (MDL) is a legal procedure that consolidates multiple civil cases involving similar claims and parties to one district court for pretrial proceedings to improve efficiency and consistency.
In the context of hotel human trafficking lawsuits, an MDL would serve to streamline the legal process, allowing for a unified examination of evidence and testimonies that address the systemic issues enabling human trafficking within the hospitality industry.
Lawsuits against hotel chains for human trafficking cite the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, a federal law that permits survivors to sue those who knowingly benefited from their exploitation.
This approach contrasts with a class action lawsuit by focusing on individual claims while addressing commonalities that link them, recognizing the unique circumstances of each survivor’s experience.
An MDL aims to enhance the likelihood of significant legal outcomes and systemic change, setting a precedent that may deter future negligence and improve safety standards within the hotel and hospitality sector.
Hotels and motels can become hotspots for various forms of human trafficking, exploiting individuals under the guise of anonymity and convenience.
Efforts to protect those at risk and identify signs of human trafficking activities are crucial in disrupting these cycles of violence and exploitation.
The most common type of human trafficking found in these settings is sex trafficking, which tragically alters the lives of countless women and children annually through coercion and false promises.
Understanding and recognizing the different types of sex trafficking is vital in bolstering efforts to combat this issue and safeguard vulnerable populations.
Types of human trafficking present in hotels and motels include:
Hotel human trafficking happens when traffickers exploit the privacy and anonymity provided by hotels and motels to conduct their illegal activities.
Traffickers often choose such locations for their operations because hotels offer a seemingly legitimate facade, allowing traffickers to blend in with other guests while exploiting their victims.
Traffickers may book rooms using cash or prepaid cards to avoid detection and use various tactics to control their victims, such as confiscating personal identification documents and isolating them from friends and family.
The mobility and transient nature of hotel accommodations also facilitate the movement of victims between locations, making it harder for authorities to track and intervene.
A lack of training or awareness among hotel staff on the signs of trafficking and how to respond appropriately can contribute to these establishments becoming unwitting venues for such exploitation.
In some instances, the complicity of hotel employees exacerbates the problem, where individuals may turn a blind eye to suspicious activities or even assist traffickers in exchange for money or drugs.
Cooperation between hotel employees and sex traffickers can create an environment where trafficking goes unchallenged and unnoticed, further endangering victims and enabling traffickers to operate with increased boldness and efficiency within these establishments.

In legal proceedings related to human trafficking, you may have the option to remain anonymous, using identifiers like “Jane Doe” instead of your real name.
This helps protect survivors’ identities, ensuring their safety and privacy while allowing them to pursue justice.
Many individuals opt for anonymity to avoid potential retaliation from traffickers, safeguard their mental health from the public exposure of their experiences, and protect themselves and their families from any possible stigma.
Remaining anonymous can provide a sense of security, enabling survivors to share their stories and seek accountability without fear of being publicly identified.
This measure is particularly vital in cases where the risk of harm or harassment remains a significant concern.
The legal system offers this option to support your well-being and dignity throughout the process.
The statute of limitations for human trafficking lawsuits can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific circumstances of the case.
Generally, federal law allows up to 10 years after the last act of alleged trafficking to file a civil lawsuit, but this can extend if the victim was a minor at the time of the offenses.
The federal law that outlines the statute of limitations for human trafficking lawsuits is the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA).
Specifically, the TVPRA provides that survivors of human trafficking can file a civil lawsuit against their traffickers or those who knowingly benefited from their trafficking up to 10 years after the trafficking situation ends.
Some states have adopted longer periods or have provisions that toll, or pause, the statute of limitations for victims of human trafficking, recognizing the unique challenges and time it might take for survivors to come forward.
Certain legal arguments may extend the time survivors have to file a lawsuit, such as delayed discovery of harm caused by the trafficking.
It’s important for survivors to consult with a lawyer to understand the specific filing deadlines that may apply to their case, as timely action is crucial to preserving legal rights and options.

Survivors of hotel human trafficking may be eligible to pursue civil lawsuits against hotels where the trafficking occurred if it can be demonstrated that the hotel staff knew about and did not intervene or if the hotel profited from the trafficking activities.
Federal and state laws, including the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA), provide the basis for these lawsuits, which aim to secure compensation for the harm suffered and hold those responsible accountable.
If you’re a survivor or wish to report suspected human trafficking safely, you can contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888 or text 233733.

Reaching out to organizations specializing in aiding human trafficking survivors or consulting with a lawyer experienced in trafficking cases can provide you with guidance and support tailored to your situation.
Taking the step to reach out for help is brave, and there are resources dedicated to assisting you through recovery and legal processes.
Eligibility for filing a lawsuit depends on several factors, including the nature of your experiences, the jurisdiction where the trafficking occurred, and the specific laws that apply to your case.
If you’ve been subjected to forced sexual activity, sexual exploitation, or other forms of trafficking within a hotel or similar setting, and there’s evidence to suggest negligence or complicity on the part of the establishment, you may have grounds for legal action.
Consulting with a lawyer who specializes in human trafficking cases is crucial to determine your eligibility.
Our law firm works on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not pay for legal services unless compensation is won in your case.
Legal representation for survivors of these tragic situations should not be barred by any sort of financial cost.
