The Gotham hotel, through a statement to the public, acknowledged that, “given recent events,” they decided to voluntarily and definitively close “the tourist housing.” This, after videos of the American Timothy Alan Livingston entering with minors were known.
According to the information, after the Medellín Mayor’s Office publicly requested domain extinction, Gotham’s reputation was severely affected.
It is important to remember that 10 days ago, the American Timothy Alan Livingston was found in the Gotham Hotel with two minors aged 12 and 13. And with whom he would have had sexual relations in exchange for money.
Due to these facts, the hotel assured that. “A foreign person violated the hotel’s policies and circumvented its security, causing permanent damage to the market.”
“We are liquidating jobs linked to tourist housing and we will help those affected with the search for other formal and stable jobs.”
Regarding the facts, which are the subject of investigation, Gotham insisted that it will continue to work closely with the authorities. Until it is established why there were minors in that area of the city at that time, violating the curfew for boys, girls and adolescents.
In addition, he confirmed that he will accompany the Attorney General’s Office and the Attorney General’s Office to investigate the conduct. From the competent authority, that is, the Metropolitan Police of the Aburrá Valley.
Finally, Gotham criticized the words of the mayor of Medellín, Federico Gutiérrez, who at the time requested the extinction of domain for the establishments involved in these cases of sexual exploitation.
«Public announcements of domain forfeiture without legal basis only end up affecting the industry, investors and the people who work in it. That is, more than 1,500 hotels and 15,000 listings on Airbnb,” the statement says.
