Perhaps most seriously, Gordon said that he found out that both guards and even ArmorGroup program manager Nick Du Plessis were regularly frequenting brothels in Kabul. "Many of the prostitutes in Kabul are young Chinese girls who were taken against their will to Kabul for sexual exploitation," Gordon said. Federal contracting regulations designed to support the Trafficking in Victims Protection Act prevents contractors from "procuring commercial sex acts during the period of performance of the contract," meaning that ArmorGroup could lose its contract if State learned of the violation. Yet Gordon's lawsuit alleges he was shut out of an investigation into the solicitation of prostitutes at the behest of Armor Group's London-based parent company, despite recurring evidence that ArmorGroup employees continued to solicit prostitutes and perhaps even run their own prostitution services. A trainee boasted to Gordon "that he could purchase a girl for $20,000 and turn a profit after a month."
