Only a licensed professional may legally practice massage therapy and use the title “masseur,” “masseuse,” or “massage therapist.” Offering massage services without a valid license is a criminal offense and can be prosecuted as an “E” felony.

Although this offense is separate from prostitution, the consequences can sometimes be even more severe. In many cases, when law enforcement suspects involvement in prostitution but cannot prove it, they may instead pursue charges for unlicensed massage as a means of prosecution.
If you are engaged in any business that requires a professional license, it is critical to ensure you are fully compliant. Even if your practice is legitimate and lawful, law enforcement may target individuals associated with escort services or suspected prostitution, particularly when massage services are advertised.

If you are charged with administering unlicensed massages, you will need a strong and experienced defense. At Demidchik Law Firm, our attorneys have the knowledge, skill, and experience to protect your rights and fight for the best possible outcome in your case.
