Sex trafficking is a serious crime that involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to exploit victims for commercial sex acts. In Maryland, survivors of sex trafficking may have endured trauma at the hands of traffickers, recruiters, business owners, or even institutions that failed to act when warning signs were present. Civil law offers a powerful avenue for survivors to hold all responsible parties accountable.
Our Maryland-based legal team is committed to representing survivors in civil lawsuits. These claims are separate from criminal prosecution and focus on securing compensation and justice for the victim. We fight not only against traffickers but also against companies and third parties that may have knowingly facilitated or profited from trafficking.
Who Can Be Sued for Sex Trafficking in Maryland?
Survivors may be able to bring civil claims against:
Individual traffickers and their associates
Hotels, motels, or landlords that ignored signs of trafficking
Transportation companies or platforms used to move victims
