Human Sex Trafficking: Did you receive a mail about a class action on the settlement to resolve claims about companies and third parties being held accountable for overlooking or ignoring trafficking? This review will help you partake in the class action settlement after confirming the authenticity of the mail.
What Is Human sex trafficking Class Action Settlement?
The Trafficking Victim Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) was amended in 2008 to allow for survivors of severe forms of human trafficking to bring civil claims against third parties for their damages.
Some of those third parties may run legitimate businesses, but nonetheless knew or should have known that they were benefiting by overlooking or ignoring the repeated and ongoing trafficking of individuals.
More than a decade after the law was written, survivors of sex trafficking and labor trafficking can now reach out to experienced attorneys for the representation they have always deserved
What Is This Class Action All About?
Sex trafficking is a modern form of slavery in which victims — in many cases minors — are lured, manipulated, and/or forced into commercial sex acts. Sex trafficking is often referred to as “prostitution” or “sex work,” but these terms are misnomers in the context of trafficking — as torture and coerced acts are far from what we know as work. Actual sex work, by contrast, is labor that is not forced or otherwise coerced, and should not be confused with sex trafficking.
According to law enforcement investigations, there are ongoing trends that involve traffickers frequently using: hotels, motels, vacation rentals, ride-share services, apps, and websites to provide high levels of anonymity and privacy that sex traffickers require.
Managers and staff at hotels, motels and truck stops and similar facilities are often aware that vulnerable and marginalized individuals are being forced into prostitution, yet they are willfully ignorant of these activities.
Businesses that knew (or should have known) of the trafficking are in the position to end services to traffickers and make trafficking more difficult for the criminals that profit from it, instead of easier.
They have the ability to implement standards, training, and monitoring to ensure that their businesses take appropriate measures to prevent, and especially to not profit, from sex traffickers utilizing their businesses.
This not only includes mainstream businesses such as hotels/motels, truck stops, and taxi cab companies, but also specialty businesses often catering to sex buyers, such as casinos, sporting venues, conference centers, private airports, and cruise liners.
The sex trafficking lawsuits claim that the defendants have violated “The Trafficking Victim Protection [Reauthorization] Act,” known as the TVPRA which in 2008, “extended the nexus of liability to anyone who should have been aware of trafficking happening within its sort of business structure, so that it was profiting from something it should have known was trafficking.”
Victims and their families are absorbing the costs of their injuries due to their inability to work and thrive in their lives, while the same businesses continue to benefit while ignoring the trafficking they know (or should know) is happening.
Some victims and families may be able to recover from injuries that date back over a decade. No matter how much time you have.
