Prostitutes Chapel Hill

Law Enforcement Operations

Recent law enforcement efforts in North Carolina have targeted prostitution-related activities. In Durham, 18 individuals were charged with soliciting prostitution. Similar operations occurred across the state, including at these locations:

• University Massage
• Rick’s Cabaret
• Teasers Men’s Club
• Capital Cabaret
• Pure Gold Premier Gentlemen’s Club of Greensboro

Chapel Hill Services

Chapel Hill has multiple escort services advertising companionship, like Ashley’s Escorts and Tina’s Escorts. Both describe themselves as discreet and professional. Local adult businesses include:

• Maxx Adult Emporium
• Frisky Business Boutique
• Peaches Adult Boutique & Arcade
• Adam & Eve (Durham)

Enforcement and Research

Enforcement remains active. A Chapel Hill man was arrested twice for soliciting sex from undercover officers. In 2025, 14 men faced charges in a sting operation, including a UNC professor and a Durham County EMS worker. Brothels disguised as massage parlors or spas operate illegally in the area.

Academic research also examines this issue. UNC Chapel Hill conducted a case management study focused on street-based sex workers. Historical context exists too, like prostitution’s role in early 20th century New York and colonial Cuba.

Efforts continue against sex trafficking. North Carolina updated its laws to address this, though challenges persist. Activists also work to change cultural attitudes, like combating homophobic chants at soccer games.
