Trammell Crow: Sarah Ferguson's billionaire associate charged with funding sex trafficking organization
DALLAS, TEXAS: Trammell Crow, a rich associate of Sarah Ferguson, has been charged with funding a sex trafficking organization. Crow, 72, with whom the Duchess of York reportedly had a friendship, is said to have provided funding for the operation that resulted in the assault of two women.
Fergie and Crow reportedly became friends because of a similar interest in environmental issues, according to DailyMail. The first mention of this relationship was made around the start of March. The court documents submitted in California state that Crow has been accused of a number of grotesque allegations. Julia Hubbard and Kayla Goedinghaus, two women who were sexually abused, filed a complaint in November 2022 against Crow and his associates, according to DailyMail. They asserted that Crow provided "essential financial assistance and influence" so that a man by the name of Richard Hubbard could manage the sex trafficking ring.

A representative for the Duchess said, "The Duchess has only met Mr Crow once with others to discuss environmental issues.

What has Trammell Crow been charged with?
Julia and Goedinghaus have accused Crow of taking part in the management of a sex trafficking ring. The women allege that a different man named Richard was in charge of the ring and that he used "force, threats of force, fraud, or coercion to compel Hubbard [Julia] and Goedinghaus to engage in commercial sex acts," according to DailyMail.
It has been alleged in the case, which was brought under racketeering laws, that the defendants "conspired together" to conduct crimes, including human trafficking. The women allege that Richard forced the alleged victims to consume medicines like Xanax in order to "force them to participate in sex acts." Furthermore, it is stated that Crow was "key to the venture's existence and long-running success" as he invested in it.

The lawsuit stated, "Crow maintained what he called lingerie rooms in each property he owned in which he kept a variety of lingerie for female guests to wear, as well as what he called 'stripper shoes.'" Several further allegations of drug use and sex parties purportedly involving Crow can be found in the court documents.
Why is Sarah Ferguson in the United States?
Fergie, 63, is attempting to repair her reputation with a US tour to support the March 30 release of her new book titled 'A Most Intriguing Lady'. During her tour, she has frequently praised her ex-husband Prince Andrew in conversations with American media outlets. Andrew was charged with having sex with a 17-year-old victim of the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. His relationship with Epstein, who led a sex trafficking ring involving minors, forced the Duke of York to withdraw from public life.
