What do Massachusetts, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and now Arkansas have in common? More and more cases across the country are seeing motels and hotels sued for allegedly knowing about sex trafficking and profiting from it. These venues are at the center of sex trafficking. The owners of these businesses must enforce anti-trafficking policies and be proactive in preventing their facility from being used by traffickers.
