“Instead of hiring qualified security and adoption and enforcement policies against criminal activity, the hotels did nothing and permitted criminal activity to the detriment of our clients, the plaintiff’s attorney said.
A Pennsylvania law firm has secured a $17.5 million settlement on behalf of three women who were allegedly trafficked at numerous Philadelphia hotels as minors.
The settlement was reached Thursday, March 13 on behalf of the plaintiffs, T.S., B.S., and D.T., who alleged in three separate suits that they were trafficked at the Motel 6, Days Inn and North American Motor Inn in Philadelphia as minors from May 2015 to January 2017. They alleged the hotels failed to have adequate security in place despite ongoing criminal activity and repeated police visits and phone calls.
