In New Hampshire, massage therapists must be licensed individually, but the state does not currently require separate licenses for massage parlors or the establishments where they operate. This has made it difficult for investigators to identify and shut down establishments that operate as massage parlors but serve as fronts for human and sex trafficking, they said. The New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence reported 118 trafficking cases in 2024. Of those, 105 involved sex trafficking and 13 were related to labor trafficking. In 2023, 95 total cases were reported, with 87 tied to sex trafficking.
