Woman’s lawsuit claims Motel 6 and other chains allowed her to be raped nearly 1,000 times

The Los Angeles Times reported on a significant sex trafficking lawsuit filed against major hotel chains including Motel 6, Wyndham Hotel Group, and Red Roof Inn, alleging they enabled the trafficking of a minor over a two-year period. The article prominently featured The Simon Law Group’s representation of the plaintiff, with attorneys Nicholas Dagher, Robert Simon, and Brad Simon filing the federal lawsuit under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act. The legal team alleges that the woman, who fled child protective services at age 13, was raped nearly 1,000 times at eight hotels across Los Angeles and Texas between 2012 and 2014, with hotel staff either witnessing, ignoring, or actively participating in the abuse. The Simon Law Group’s lawsuit seeks to hold the corporate chains liable, arguing they financially benefited from sex trafficking and maintained business models that attract and foster the commercial sex market, despite having active programs to alert staff to trafficking dangers.
