Sex trafficking doesn’t always happen in dark alleyways or hidden locations—it often occurs in hotels, apartment complexes, rideshare vehicles, and through online ads. In New York, countless survivors have been trafficked in plain sight, often with the knowledge or negligence of businesses that prioritized profits over human safety.
At Survivors of Abuse NY, we help survivors of sex trafficking in NY file civil lawsuits against not only traffickers, but also hotels, websites, and corporations that enabled or ignored the abuse. If you or a loved one has been trafficked, you have a right to seek compensation and justice.
Common Trafficking Scenarios We Handle:
Exploitation through social media or escort platforms
Victims held and abused in hotel rooms or rentals
