A lawsuit alleges a NJ woman was trafficked as a teen from May 2014 to August 2015 by Stanton Krogulski, who has regular rooms at the Red Roof Inn in Mount Laurel and Motel 6 in Maple Shade.
While what happened to her was terrible, I’m not exactly sure what the cause of action would be. Saying staffers were “sometimes present for the abuse” could mean any number of things, like she was threatened when staff was nearby, or that they participated. This is kind of like blaming a gas station for facilitating human trafficking because the traffickers used cars.
He was operating a business where he trafficked people, she wasn’t the only one. So the staff knew that he was doing this to many and didn’t do anything. If I recall, they were doing business in the front lobby area where the sex purchasers would pick out the girls.
“Rather than taking timely and effective measures to thwart this epidemic,” Motel 6 and Red Roof Inn “have instead chosen to ignore the open and obvious presence of sex trafficking on their properties, enjoying the profit from rooms renter for this explicit and apparent purpose,” the victim said in the litigation.

If that’s true then they were complicit for sure.
