Schulte Hospitality Group, in conjunction with the Hilton hotel empire, is currently embroiled in a lawsuit filed by over a dozen current and former employees. The lawsuit alleges that one Hampton Inn in Elmsford, New York has breached the Trafficking Victims Protection Act by permitting sex trafficking and various other criminal activities to occur unchecked.
The plaintiffs assert that the hotel’s management effectively turned a blind eye to these illicit activities, creating an environment where sex work and violence could thrive. Legal representation for the plaintiffs includes James Castro-Blanco, John Murtagh, and Denise Cossu from Murtagh, Cossu, Venditti & Castro-Blanco.
