The Room at the Norcross Red Roof Inn: Why the Hotel, Not Just the Trafficker, Can Be Held to Account If you are reading this in the middle of the night, you are probably not here for a primer. You are here because something happened to you or to someone you love at the Red Roof Inn on Brook Hollow Parkway in Norcross — and you are starting to ask the question that most survivors do not ask soon enough: the man who hurt me is one person, but the room he kept going back to, the front desk that kept handing him a key, the brand on the sign — do they answer for this too? The short answer is: yes, federal law gives you that door. The longer answer is what this page is for. We are a Texas-based trial firm with a Georgia practice, and we handle exactly these cases — civil rights and premises liability suits against hotels, motels, and short-term-rentals for survivors of sex trafficking. Ralph Manginello has spent more than 27 years in courtrooms, including federal court; Lupe Peña is a former insurance-defense attorney who now works the inside of the system against it,…

An Eighteen-Year-Old Escaped a Marietta Hotel. The Door She Walked Out Of Has Been Open Ever Since — and It Opens the Same Way for Anyone Else. We are writing for the person reading this at 2 a.m. — for the survivor who broke free, for the parent who just learned what happened inside a chain motel off Delk Road, for the sister or brother who got the phone call. We are also writing for the survivor who never got out, who is reading this on a borrowed phone, who does not yet know that the law inside this state and the law inside this country both belong to her now. You are not to blame. You did not choose this. And the question you have right now — can I sue the hotel where this happened? — has a real answer. It is yes, in most cases. What follows is exactly how the answer works, what evidence is dying while you read, and what we do the day you call. The Federal Civil Remedy: 18 U.S.C. § 1595(a) The civil remedy that lets a trafficking survivor reach the business that profited sits at 18 U.S.C. § 1595(a). We quote…

Red Roof Inn Sex Trafficking Lawsuits: What Survivors Need to Know About the Federal Law That Holds Hotels Accountable If you are reading this page, something has already gone wrong. Maybe you were trafficked at a Red Roof Inn — in Smyrna, in Buckhead, at a location off an interstate exit somewhere between here and Texas. Maybe the people who ran the rooms have been arrested and the motel is still operating as if nothing happened. Maybe a caseworker, a detective, or a relative handed you a number and said “call a lawyer.” Maybe no one has said that yet, and you found this page because you typed the name of the motel and a word you are not sure you are allowed to type into a search engine. Whatever brought you here, this page is for you. It is not a news article. It is a working map of the federal civil law that lets a survivor of sex trafficking hold a hotel chain accountable — the law Congress wrote, the cases that have tested it, the evidence the defense will try to destroy, the clock you are racing, and the path our firm walks with survivors and their…

Atlanta Sex Trafficking Lawyer: Holding Hotels Accountable Under Federal Law When Atlanta Became a Trafficking Corridor You checked in expecting a room for the night. Or you were moved from city to city by someone who told you no one else could help you. Or you are the parent who got a call from Atlanta you cannot stop replaying. The room where it happened may have been a budget motel off I-285 near College Park, a roadside Days Inn near Hartsfield-Jackson, a weekly-rate WoodSpring Suites in Forest Park, a Red Roof near the airport, or an extended-stay on Memorial Drive in unincorporated DeKalb County, just outside the Atlanta city line. The men who used that room paid the hotel. The hotel gave them a key. That transaction - and the hotel’s choice to keep giving a key after the signs were obvious - is what federal law was written to punish. This page is written for the survivor, and for the family member or advocate sitting beside them. It explains, in plain language, the federal civil remedy that lets a trafficking survivor sue the hotel - and, in many cases, the brand on the sign - for knowingly profiting from…

When a Hotel Profits From Trafficking: The Red Roof Atlanta Case and Your Rights Under Georgia Law You are reading this for one of two reasons. Either you are a survivor who is finally putting words to what happened to you in an Atlanta hotel room — years of it, maybe, when every instinct told you something was wrong but no one with power looked at you long enough to see it. Or you are a mother, a sister, a daughter, a friend who started asking questions and could not stop, because the answers did not line up with the story the hotel kept telling. If that is you, take a breath. What happened to you was not bad luck, not a “lifestyle,” not something you caused. Under federal and Georgia law, the place that rented the room to the man who hurt you may have a duty to you that runs deeper than the franchisor’s standard “we screen our drivers” boilerplate. And there is a new precedent you need to understand: in the summer of 2024, eleven women who were trafficked at two Red Roof Inn locations in Atlanta settled their civil case against the hotel’s corporate owners in…

We Help Survivors of Hotel Sex Trafficking in Decatur and Across Georgia Hold the Businesses That Profited From Their Abuse Accountable If you were trafficked at a hotel in DeKalb County, or if you are a parent who discovered what happened to your child in a room on Memorial Drive or anywhere along that corridor, we want you to hear this clearly: the law gives you a real path forward, and you do not have to take on the hotel chain alone. The federal Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, the same statute that produced a $40 million verdict against the operator of the United Inn & Suites in Decatur in 2025, was written to reach exactly the people who profited from your suffering. Our firm, Attorney911, takes these cases across Georgia, and we work with survivors and families from Decatur to Macon to Savannah.

The Night Nobody Wrote Down If you were twenty-three years old and somebody handed you a key to a room at a Red Roof Inn off the South Cobb Parkway in Smyrna, and a man at the front desk took cash from the person who drove you there and did not ask for your ID, and the man who brought you came back with a different girl the next night, and the next, and the next, and that pattern repeated for weeks or months at the same motel, then one night years later a lawyer asked you to sit down and tell the truth about it — what you would say is not a story about a bad night. It is a story about a business that took your money and the money of the person who hurt you and watched what was happening and did nothing. Eleven women did exactly that. They waited nearly five years to bring their case. They sat through a three-week trial in a federal courtroom in Atlanta. They watched a corporate defense team from a national motel chain argue that the chain should not be held responsible for what its franchisee’s employees saw, signed…

A Hotel That Watched and Took the Money: What the Stockbridge Days Inn Settlement Really Means If you are reading this, you or someone you love may have been hurt at a hotel where adults should have stopped what was happening and did not. You might be the parent of a child who came home changed. You might be an adult survivor still carrying what happened in that room. You might be a relative wondering if what you suspect is enough to call a lawyer. We want to speak directly to that person, because the case in Stockbridge, Georgia is not an abstract news story. It is the same playbook that runs through the I-75 corridor, through every highway-adjacent budget motel, through every property that was warned and kept renting rooms. Our firm has built a trial practice around holding these operators and the brands on the sign accountable, and we want to walk you through what happened, what the law actually allows, and what you can do today. A Days Inn in Stockbridge, Henry County, Georgia, agreed to pay $5 million to two survivors of child sex trafficking who were 14 years old when the crimes occurred in March…
