‘Epidemic levels’ of sex trafficking alleged at Red Roof Inn hotels as company accused of turning a blind eye for profit

Sex trafficking survivors say the hotel chain ignored obvious signs that they were being trafficked to protect its profits. The company is set to face hundreds of lawsuits across the country


Sex trafficking victims have named 115 different Red Roof Inn locations across 39 states as locations where they were allegedly trafficked.


quote:

at least 42 federal lawsuits are underway against the hotel chain and its franchisees. Hundreds more victims are in the process of filing legal action, according to attorneys working on their cases.

The victims, some of whom were underage at the time, accuse the company of allowing its rooms to be rented on a grand scale to sex traffickers who forced them into commercial sex work and controlled nearly every aspect of their lives.

They claim the signs of their trafficking were so obvious they could not have been missed by the company. The lawsuits are littered with references to malnourished and underage girls and women under the control of “pimps” who conducted their business in front of hotel staff, renting numerous hotel rooms where male customers came and went, night after night.

The lawsuits span the length and breadth of the country, across 39 states and at least 115 Red Roof Inn hotels.


quote:

The lawsuits also revealed that a senior Red Roof Inn employee joked about the presence of “pimps and hos” at one of the hotels under his management.

Steven Babin, an attorney who is representing close to 1,000 sex trafficking victims in cases involving Red Roof Inn, told The Independent that sex trafficking had reached an “epidemic level” across the hotel chain, and estimated the true number of victims to be in the many thousands.


There have been at least 8,877 victims of sex trafficking which took place in hotels (not specific to Red Roof Inns) across the United States since 2015 - and 8,000 of those are women.

This comes out AFTER Red Roof settled the huge case at two locations in Atlanta, GA

We need to consider the distinction between the "human trafficking" that gets talked about really loudly and the "human trafficking" that we're not supposed to mention (i.e. the kind that gets debunked on Snopes.com).

Talked about: muh Super Bowl (which has been exposed as BS), muh Red Roof Inn (probably BS, too- hookers use hotels, stop the presses), muh Nickelodeon, etc.

These things are talked about because they can be tied directly to corporate profit. The people pressing these discussions are communists.

Not talked about: the weird coded emails between Podesta and Hillary, Biden's shower proclivities, etc.

Those people are mere weirdos, not corporate entities, so they get a pass.

It’s now a private business’ employee’s responsibility to stop supposed sex trafficking? What if the employee simply says he or she didn’t think it was?

They’re far worse than corporate entities. They’re corrupt career politicians that have fleeced the middle class dry in this country
