The Ravens kicker was accused by six different massage therapists of inappropriate sexual behavior between 2012 and 2016.
Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker is facing allegations of sexual misconduct by six massage therapists at four different spas and wellness centers in the Baltimore area, according to an investigative report by The Baltimore Banner. (Content warning: The allegations in that link are incredibly detailed.)
The report includes graphic details of Tucker’s alleged behavior, which led multiple therapists to refuse to work with him again. Management of two spas told The Banner that the longtime Ravens kicker was banned from returning.
Tucker released a statement on X insisting that the allegations were “unequivocally false,” calling them “desperate tabloid fodder.”
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy released the following statement (via NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport): “We first became aware of the allegations from the reporter investigating this story as they were not previously shared with the NFL. We take any allegation seriously and will look into the matter.”
The Ravens also released a statement, per ESPN’s Jamison Hensley: “We are aware of the Baltimore Banner’s story regarding Justin Tucker as well as his response. We take any allegations of this nature seriously and will continue to monitor the situation.”
The timing and nature of the allegations will raise questions about what the Ravens knew and when. The team has long touted a zero-tolerance policy for mistreatment of women since the Ray Rice controversy in 2014.
