Motel 6 to Shell Out $250K After LA Locale Used as a 'Base' for Human Trafficking Ring

Motel 6 agreed to pay $250,000 to settle a suit brought by the City of Los Angeles claiming one location was a “base” for human traffickers, gang members and drug dealers. So reports CBS News.

Police reportedly made more than 60 arrests at the Sylmar location since 2013 including those for firearm possession, prostitution and drugs. Undercover officers claim they were propositioned to work as prostitutes while at the motel’s pool, and one said staff members were willing to allow a room rental even after being told it would be used to host a prostitute. The money will be used to deter human trafficking.
