It has been argued that world-class hotel companies have profited from prostitution in their rooms, rather than preventing it.

Thirteen women claiming to be victims of hotel trafficking have filed a lawsuit in the Southern District Court of Southern Ohio, USA, with the allegations, and on 12 September.

The collection features the names of world-class luxury hotel chains, including Hilton Worldwide Holdings, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, and Best Western Hotels & Resorts.

The victims claimed that these hotels turned away even when they heard 'warning signs' that women and children were being prostituted in their rooms.

New York-based law firm Weisz & Luxsenberg, which is suing women for lawsuits, said the hotels "produced profits by providing a marketplace for prostitution."

Law firms call it "an industry failure," and pointed out that "these common torts have propelled prostitution in hotels, leading to a state-of-the-art pandemic."

The lawsuit is the first instance of a hotel that has long been a hotbed of prostitution, facing a collective legal response, Reuters said.

Former US State Department Specialist for Human Trafficking Surveillance, Lewis Cabesa Devaca, said, "There is a problem with the industry as a whole." "For years, the hotel industry has known that prostitution, especially child prostitution, occurs at its facilities. Criticized.

One of the accusers claimed he had been held for six weeks in several locations within the 2012 Wyndham hotel when he was 26 years old, and that his assault broke his nose twice.

"I want people to know how much (hotel prostitution) is happening in the United States," he said. "Whether it's a suspicious hotel or a good hotel, prostitution is happening everywhere."

After the lawsuit was filed, Hilton said in a statement that it condemned all types of trafficking, including sexual exploitation, and expects its partners to help maintain this responsibility.
