Backpage.com Sex Trafficking Lawsuit and Settlement Fund for Survivors
The United States Department of Justice recently established a $215 million restitution settlement fund. Survivors who were advertised, trafficked, or otherwise exploited on Backpage.com may be entitled to compensation if they submit claims to this fund.
If you or a loved one has been affected by sex trafficking, our firm can guide you through the Backpage restitution fund process to help seek the justice and compensation you deserve. We understand the profound physical, emotional, and financial toll that trafficking can inflict, and we are committed to holding wrongdoers accountable. Our compassionate and experienced legal team will stand by your side every step of the way.
Iliana Konidaris: Experienced Attorney for Survivors of Sex Trafficking
If you are eligible to submit a claim to the Backpage.com restitution settlement fund, a lawyer skilled in representing survivors of sex trafficking can add value to your claim.
Iliana Konidaris, Managing Legal Counsel, New York, has worked closely with survivors of sex trafficking on Backpage.com for nearly a decade and has been part of the litigation team, alongside Boies Schiller Flexner LLP and Legal Momentum, the Women’s Legal Defense and Education Fund, fighting the website in the case Florida Abolitionist v.

What is Backpage.com?
Backpage.com was a website that masqueraded as a legitimate online marketplace — including for furniture, household goods, or services — but in reality, was the leading forum for prostitution and even for child sex trafficking. Backpage.com was shuttered in 2018.
Pursuing Justice, Creating Change
In representing survivors of sex and human trafficking, our dedicated attorneys see each case as a chance to hold traffickers and enablers accountable, driving meaningful reforms to help prevent future exploitation. Beyond financial recovery, litigation against entities that knowingly perpetuate or facilitate these crimes helps uncover the breadth of wrongdoing, exposing those responsible and sending a clear message that exploitation will not go unanswered.
