I have never heard of staff being paid, but the training of hotel maids, desk clerks, security watching hall cameras was part of the training of the Task Force led by Ms. Mcain, Brewer etc funding by the grants etc to end demand under the sex trafficking mania a few years ago which continues with probably 90%+ are consenting adults.
Scottsdale does no escort license sweeps and is criminal vs civil in City of Phoenix. I stopped tracking them since I am only interested in the many felony cases that are escort or massage related in Superior Court, not city courts which are only misdemeanors.
I have not seen any cases related to hotels in those that I am following but reviews are frequently in probably cause statements and part of the Grand Jury testimony.
In a recent case "trafficking" charges were dropped even though the Direct Complaint included it, but was dropped from the GJ indictment since all the workers agreed they worked for the place and no indication of force. However, five women still face many years in prison unless they take a plea deal.
This is just one of about a dozen cases slowing making their way through Superior Court that I have been reporting on and many more in progress.
But again I have not seen any related to hotel reports other than the Scottsdale's very aggressive going after escorting without a license and I have yet to have seen an ad that complies with the law due to the requirements.
Courtyards have been used for the usual entrapment stings but no indication the lead came from staff.
