Baltimore, MD – Justin Tucker, the star kicker for the Baltimore Ravens, is facing allegations of sexual misconduct from six massage therapists, who claim that between 2012 and 2016, Tucker engaged in inappropriate behavior during sessions at high-end spas in the Baltimore area.
The accusations have surfaced as the NFL launches an internal investigation, which could have serious repercussions for Tucker’s career and reputation.
Details of the Allegations
According to the alleged victims, the misconduct included:
- Inappropriate Exposure: Tucker is accused of exposing himself during massage sessions.
- Unwanted Physical Contact: The therapists allege that Tucker brushed his genitals against them during treatments.
- Unsanitary Actions: Some claim that Tucker left bodily fluids on massage tables after sessions.
Reports indicate that at least two spas banned Tucker from their facilities following these alleged incidents.
Tucker’s Response
Tucker has strongly denied all allegations, releasing a statement where he called the claims “false and defamatory.”
“I have never engaged in any behavior that could be described in this way. These accusations are completely untrue and deeply troubling.”
His legal team has also stated that they are prepared to take action against what they describe as an attempt to damage his reputation.
NFL and Ravens’ Reaction
- The NFL has confirmed that it is conducting an investigation into the allegations.
- The Baltimore Ravens have acknowledged the reports but have not yet issued a detailed statement regarding potential disciplinary actions.
The league has a history of disciplinary measures in cases of misconduct, meaning Tucker could face a suspension or even a release from the team if the allegations are substantiated.
Legal Implications
Although the statute of limitations for criminal charges has expired, the NFL retains authority to discipline players based on its personal conduct policy.
This situation bears similarities to past cases, including that of quarterback Deshaun Watson, who faced multiple allegations of misconduct and was ultimately suspended by the league.
What’s Next?
As the investigation unfolds, Justin Tucker’s future in the NFL remains uncertain. More details are expected to emerge as the NFL reviews evidence, interviews witnesses, and makes a decision regarding possible disciplinary action.
For now, the Ravens kicker remains active on the team, though the controversy surrounding the case continues to grow.
