Lawsuit claims Minneapolis hotel made no effort to protect sex trafficking victims

The former owners of a downtown Minneapolis hotel are being sued for allegedly letting former GOP donor Anton “Tony” Lazzaro sex-traffic underage girls at his condominium inside the hotel. “It’s about the scope and the breadth of this problem, not just in the Twin Cities and not just at the Ivy Hotel, the scene of the crime, but across the state and across this nation,” attorney and Zero Abuse Project founder Jeff Anderson said.
