Confidential Douglas & London client settles lawsuit with New York City Hotel Group which alleged they turned a blind eye to Sex Trafficking in favor of repeated business

NEW YORK, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The attorneys of Douglas & London are at the forefront of fighting businesses who turn a blind eye to cases of human sex trafficking. Hotels and other businesses benefit from repeated business from human sex traffickers and will either assist to make access easier for sex traffickers or neglect safety measures which would help the victims.

Human Sex Trafficking is an epidemic in America is happening in plain sight. Globally, Human Trafficking is estimated to bring in profits of about $150 billion – an estimated two-thirds of which is from sexual exploitation.

As part of the settlement agreement, the hotels, victim, and settlement amount are confidential, but cases and victims remain in New York City and all across the United States. The client was represented by Randolph Janis and Virginia E. Anello.
