California hotel sued for letting children view pornography

Thursday, 31 August 20063 min read

Value Lodge is facing a lawsuit from a woman who say the Artesia, California hotel subjected their two daughters to hard-core pornographic movies.

The suit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court alleges two young daughters of Edwina McCombs saw the hard-core pornography while turning on the television to watch a children’s show. Instead, the two youngsters allegedly saw close-up images of people engaged in sexual acts.

The hotel was negligent in not telling visitors that it does not block pornography channels and in failing to put up warning signs, says attorney Scott J. Jarvis.

“At the very least, there should be signs alerting parents to the content of the television stations in the room,” said the attorney for Ms McCombs.

No amount of damages was specified, according to news reports.
