“We’ve received more cases at our office in the last two days than we have in the last two years,” Khara Jabola-Carolus, the executive director of the commission said to BuzzFeed News in a phone interview last week.
Over 17 million Americans have lost their jobs and filed for unemployment since the beginning of the crisis.
“We have seen an uptick in sexual harassment,” said Sheryl Ring, director at Open Communities. “Since this started, they [landlords] have been taking advantage of the financial hardships many of their tenants have in order to coerce their tenants into a sex-for-rent agreement — which is absolutely illegal.”
The stay at home orders and lockdowns have led to an increase in sexual harassment by landlords who are attempting to use sex as a form of payment.
