A woman has initiated a lawsuit in efforts towards fighting sex trafficking in hotels. She alleges that hotel chains have failed to stop sex trafficking at their properties despite ample knowledge that the issues might have occurred. Fighting sex trafficking in hotels has increasingly received more and more news coverage particularly as certain chains might be defendants multiple times.
This woman claims that she was the victim of sex trafficking from 2012 to 2013 at six major hotel chains in Washington and Oregon. She argues in her lawsuit that rather than fighting sex trafficking in hotels that the companies continue to enjoy the profit from rooms for rent that were clearly being used for the purpose of sex trafficking.
The lawsuit names Myriad International, Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, Hilton Worldwide Holdings, Red Lion Hotels Corp., and Extended Stay America as defendants.
The woman says that she was subjected to repeated instances of verbal abuse, rape, physical abuse, psychological torment, false imprisonment, and exploitation while trafficked for commercial sex purposes at the age of 22.
