Is Cobb County Liable for Trauma Suffered by Sex Trafficking Victims?

Date
Posted by

Smyrna, GA – On Monday, January 18th, top Cobb County elected officials received notice describing the systemic sex trafficking occurring at the Red Roof Inn off Windy Hill Rd (2200 Corporate Plaza, Smyrna, GA 30080).

UPDATE: Commissioner Bob Ott’s office has informed that law enforcement is now actively working to achieve change at the Red Roof. We receive this news with joy, but we will continue to keep our eye on the Red Roof, expecting to see permanent change in the near future. (Red Roof Corporate’s response remains disappointing.)

Clearly referenced in this notice were reports from several online news organizations, including ATL Trafficking.com, that included many specific and verifiable details regarding the illegal activity at that particular Cobb County Red Roof, including the names of traffickers, their previous convictions for crimes against children, strong evidence of the hotel’s complicity, as well as the fact that underage victims as young as twelve years old are involved.

Since the release of this information, Metro Atlantans have been discussing and sharing the revelations about this Red Roof like wildfire.

Yet, more than a week later, staff members from the offices of County Manager David Hankerson (770-528-2600), Chairman Tim Lee (770-528-3305), Commissioner Bob Weatherford (770-528-3313), and Commissioner Bob Ott (770-528-3316) say that they failed Continue reading

Red Roof Admits Sex Trafficking Occurs in its Rooms!

On Wednesday, January 2oth, reliable sources confirm that a spokesman for the Red Roof Inn off Windy Hill Rd (2200 Corporate Plaza, Smyrna, GA 30080) identifying himself as “Forrest,” the night manager, said that he had read ATL Trafficking’s most recent article on the Red Roof in Smyrna and admitted that much of the information contained in the article regarding sex trafficking occurring in their rooms is true! (Of course, we know it’s all true.)

Remember, it is an established fact that teenage girls have not only been routinely trafficked at this hotel,  but such prostitution is ongoing.

Forrest also confirmed that the national Red Roof Corporate office is aware of the situation, as well as the franchise owner. What is it going to take for Red Roof Corporate (614-744-2600) to pull the franchise rights from this owner? 

Readers will recall that up to 40 of the recent “good” reviews recently removed by tripadvisor for being fraudulent went out of their way to specifically praise employees “Forrest” or “Edafe.”

Readers will also remember that investigators recently filmed the manager Continue reading

Illegal Spas Flee to Forsyth County

Date
Posted by

After the recent crackdown by Johns Creek’s on illegal brothels posing as “spas” and “massage parlors”, many of the spa owners packed up and moved outside the city limits into unincorporated Forsyth County.

The large majority of spas and massage parlors in the Metro Atlanta area are actually brothels run by Asian gangs that hold their “masseuses” in perpetual sexual slavery while they “work off” their debts to the gang.

Concerned citizens of Forsyth have suddenly begun seeing spa after spa pop up along the border of their county.

Thankfully, the Forsyth County Commissioners have boldly enacted the same Continue reading

A2C Budget Hotel – Fountain of Crime on Fulton Industrial Blvd

A2C Front - CopyThe A2C Budget Hotel (Formerly the Travelodge (and later the Travel Inn) of Six Flags), located at 4265 Shirley Drive, South-West, Atlanta, GA 30336, is the worst of the worst when it comes to sex trafficking on Fulton Industrial Blvd.

Years ago, Travelodge pulled its association with this hotel due to crime & poor management issues. (We do congratulate Travelodge for taking a stand!) At that time, it was downgraded to the “Travel Inn” but its association with sex trafficking did not diminish.

Not too long ago, the Travel Inn was foreclosed on by its mortgage holder and resold. The new owner renamed it the A2C Budget Hotel and voila, we now have one of the worst hotels in Metro Atlanta.

Officials say that while there always existed a sex trafficking problem when it was called the Travel Inn, since it came under the control of the new owner, crime levels have exploded to the point that now, at least 25% of all crimes on Fulton Industrial Blvd originate at the A2C Budget Hotel!

Of course, this isn’t the only hotel this particular owner possesses – he has 6 Continue reading

Fulton Industrial Boulevard – Worst Sex Trafficking Hot Spot in Metro Atlanta

Date

Map of all points - CopyIt is well known among law enforcement and the anti-trafficking community that the area along Fulton Industrial Boulevard near I-20 (Six Flags) is the worst area in Metro Atlanta with regards to sex trafficking and has been for decades.

It is also well known that part of the reason is that this section of Fulton Industrial Boulevard runs through a narrow strip of unincorporated Fulton County just outside the city limits of Atlanta. In other words, the APD has no jurisdiction, so Fulton County Police are on their own. Yet, Fulton County Police are severely underresourced there.

What is not so well known is that this area could actually be very easy to clean up! Almost all the sex trafficking on Fulton Industrial Boulevard originates in just 6 hotels and 4 strip clubs!

3 of the 4 strip clubs rent their space from the same commercial property owner. 5 of the 6 hotels are owned and managed by a team of 3 men who Continue reading
