"Accor, Epstein, and Ukrainian Orphans: Our Investigation into Child Trafficking", 19 March 2026

Accor hotels in over 20 countries agreed to accommodate bookings that we explicitly wrote to heavily imply child sexual exploitation and abuse. In total, 80% of the Accor Hotels that engaged with us accommodated our highly problematic requests. We find the statistics and content of our e-mail investigation highly concerning and choose to disclose all email chains in the Appendix.

...Our investigation uncovers what we view as potentially systemic issues at Accor group in regard to human and especially child trafficking. The apparent connections between Epstein and Accor seem even more concerning in light of our findings and deserve in our opinion further scrutiny by shareholders and regulators.

We do not wish ill upon Accor and its many employees, but fear that there are deeply rooted problems that need to be addressed. Until the problems we outline in this report are addressed, we think Accor has a severe risk of a public scandal hanging over its head.

We view this as a crucial moment in history for the company. Accor’s board, its shareholders, and regulators have to make an important choice. One option is to try to protect powerful people at the company from accountability, ignore our concerns, and hide behind legal language with craftily written human rights policies. The other option is to address the issues, work for transparency, punish wrongdoers at the company, and focus on protecting victims on a practical level. We hope the company chooses the latter option.
