Case overview
A wave of federal litigation under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) targets hotel chains for allegedly enabling sex trafficking by ignoring overt warning signs. In December 2025, Andreozzi + Foote filed suit in the Harrisburg–Hershey region naming Holiday Inn Express, Best Western, Marriott properties, and others, alleging staff witnessed daily cash rentals, bruised victims, and trafficker surveillance yet continued renting rooms. This follows a confidential June 2024 settlement by Red Roof Inns mid-trial in the first hotel sex trafficking case to reach a jury, overseen by Judge Victoria Calvert in the Northern District of Georgia (case filed 2020). At least 42 federal lawsuits are pending against Red Roof Inn across 39 states, with hundreds more victims preparing claims.
Causation Theory
Hotels serve as operational infrastructure for trafficking ventures: analysis of 2018–2019 federal criminal sex trafficking cases found approximately 80% involved exploitation at hotels or motels (Jeng et al., Religions 2022). Traffickers exploit the hospitality industry's anonymity, transient clientele, and room-by-room rental model to create controlled environments for commercial sexual exploitation. Plaintiffs allege corporate defendants observed and ignored established indicators including cash payments for short-term stays, excessive linen requests, visible condoms and paraphernalia, victims showing bruising and malnourishment, trafficker surveillance of hallways, and online reviews flagging prostitution activity—yet failed to implement federally available training from DHS, ECPAT-USA, or the American Hotel & Lodging Association.
Case Management Orders
Litigation status
MDL No. 3104 (In re: Hotel Industry Sex Trafficking Litigation (No. II)) was created January 2024 and remains active before Chief Judge Algenon L. Marbley in the S.D. Ohio. The MDL succeeded after the JPML denied the first consolidation attempt (MDL 2928) in February 2020. Recent rulings continue to shape beneficiary liability theories under 18 U.S.C. §1595, with courts split on franchisor knowledge standards.
