North Texas family sues hotel where missing girl was trafficked

The 90-page lawsuit filed Monday in Dallas County alleges the hotel chain and management did not protect the girl and may have turned a “blind eye.”The mother of a girl who disappeared from a Dallas Mavericks game in 2022 is suing the hotel chain where she was reportedly trafficked and assaulted, according to the lawsuit filed Monday in Dallas County.

The 90-page filing alleges Extended Stay America did not protect the teen and fostered an environment ripe for human trafficking, while hotel employees “either failed to recognize the signs … or chose to turn a blind eye and ignore what was happening.”The girl, who was 15 at the time, went to the bathroom during the Mavericks game on April 8 and never returned, prompting her father to report her missing.

Additionally, the suit alleges that the Oklahoma City hotel staff were aware of sex trafficking allegations lodged in internet reviews. People who said they stayed at the hotel reported seeing “prostitutes everywhere,” court documents show.. He has said Dallas police ignored signs she was abducted and treated her as a runaway, punting the case to North Richland Hills, where she lives. The teen had run away from home once before.
