Case overview

Plaintiffs are pursuing coordinated TVPRA litigation against major hotel franchisors and franchisees for allegedly facilitating sex trafficking by ignoring observable red flags. On Jan. 9, 2026, Judge Susan D. Wigenton in D.N.J. transferred Jane Doe (J.T.A.) v. Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc., No. 2:25-cv-00687, to the Middle District of Florida after finding no personal jurisdiction over the franchisee defendant, while allowing TVPRA beneficiary and perpetrator claims against Wyndham franchisors to proceed. Separately, on Dec. 22, 2025, Judge Wigenton denied Wyndham's motion to dismiss in Jane Doe (A.L.H.) v. Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc., No. 2:25-cv-00579, holding that allegations of cash payments, excessive towel requests, 14 daily male visitors, and public physical abuse sufficiently pled participation in a venture under 18 U.S.C. § 1595.

Causation Theory

Traffickers exploited hotel infrastructure to operate commercial sex ventures with reduced detection risk: prepaid cards and cash payments minimized traceability; constant "do not disturb" signs, refusal of housekeeping despite linen requests, and high-volume short-duration male visitors provided operational cover; and hotel Wi-Fi enabled advertisement and coordination with buyers. Plaintiffs allege these patterns created observable events—public violence, provocatively dressed minors, and explicit staff comments—that defendants ignored or actively suppressed through bribes, constituting knowing benefit from a venture that foreseeably caused trafficking-related harms.

Litigation status

Hotel sex trafficking litigation remains highly active with no MDL consolidation. Recent PACER filings show G6 Hospitality (Motel 6) facing multiple new TVPRA suits in E.D. Texas (Judge J. Campbell Barker) and N.D. Ohio. Judge Algenon L. Marbley's September 2025 decision in M.S. v. G6 Hospitality, et al. (S.D. Ohio) denied motions to dismiss by Choice Hotels and Wyndham, permitting expansive beneficiary, agency, and joint-employer liability theories to proceed. Discovery is underway in W.D. Washington (Judge Tana Lin) with protective order rulings on sensitive deposition testimony (Jane Doe v. Salesforce.com Inc., et al., 2:24-cv-00435, Jan. 23, 2026).

  • Columbus, Ohio

    Crowne Plaza by IHG (Columbus Area) — trafficking of plaintiff S.R. from 2008-2013; court found plausible TVPRA claim survived motion to dismiss where franchisor 'profited, failed to implement policies, and maintained expansive control.'

  • Orlando, Florida

  • Miami, Florida

Hyatt Corp., No. 3:24-cv-01229 (N.D. Tex. July 15, 2025).

  • Mobile, Alabama
