Lawyers in Pennsylvania say their client was sexually exploited at a motel for years, alleging the teen girl was a victim of human trafficking. This child was forced into sex slavery, attorney Nadeem Bezar told reporters. The teens lawyers are using Pennsylvanias human trafficking law to sue the motel where they say their client was sexually exploited, marking the first civil suit under the law since it was enacted in 2014. Lawyers allege employees at the Roosevelt Inn in northeast Philadelphia knew that a 14-year-old girl was being held against her will for two years. She was forced to have sex with more than 1,000 men. The girl, now 17, wants the hotel to pay for what happened to her. Shes suing the motels owners, the motels management company and the manager himself. According to the [Philadelphia] Inquirer, the girl managed to escape and reconnect with her family after two years at the motel. Those responsible for trafficking the teen were convicted and sentenced to prison. The motel is well-known to Philadelphia prosecutors as the epicenter of human trafficking in the city. An assistant district attorney, Erin OBrien, told the Inquirer that [motel manager Yanga] Patel had cooperated with police in previous investigations, but said almost every trafficking investigation we have, we see the victim is at Roosevelt Inn. You cant have a line of johns out the front door and around the room waiting without them knowing, [Attorney Tom] Kline said. The front desk would direct the traffic to the room of this child.

A second suppressed documentary, "Conspiracy of Silence," goes even deeper into this topic in the US.
