What can I do as a consumer or massage therapist if I suspect unlicensed activity, human trafficking/illicit activity at a massage establishment?

The board will act within its jurisdiction of the massage therapy laws but does not have the same authority that local governmental agencies have to enforce criminal laws. For this reason the board works closely with and relies on law enforcement for assistance in regards to businesses suspected of illicit activity/human trafficking. Most illicit massage businesses (IMB) are part of a crime network  which requires intervention from specialized law enforcement teams. If you suspect human trafficking involving illicit activity, report this information to the board by filing a complaint on our website and then report the same to local/state authorities.

Please see Complaint FAQ Page for resources on filing a complaint if suspect illicit activity or human trafficking
