Baltimore Ravens star Justin Tucker is under investigation for alleged misconduct.
Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has been accused of engaging in inappropriate behaviour at multiple spas and wellness centres in the Baltimore area, according to an exclusive report by The Baltimore Banner.
According to the publication, six massage therapists have come forward with allegations that Tucker exposed himself during sessions, with two claiming he brushed them with his exposed penis.
Three others alleged they found ejaculate on the massage table after his sessions.
The reported incidents allegedly occurred between 2012 and 2016.
Justin Tucker Allegations and Spa Reactions
)
According to The Baltimore Banner, five of the women stated that Tucker requested massages on his pelvic region and inner thighs while visibly aroused. They claimed he then repeatedly shifted his body to dislodge the massage sheets, exposing himself either partially or fully.
Two of the therapists alleged that Tucker physically made contact with them with his exposed genitals, while three others recalled returning to the massage room after his sessions to find a large wet spot on the table, which they strongly suspected to be ejaculate.
One of the massage therapists, speaking to The Baltimore Banner, said:
“It was really degrading. I told people over the years, but nothing came of it.”
A representative of a local spa confirmed that Tucker was "immediately terminated as a client" following an alleged incident in 2014.
Another spa, now closed, stated through their attorney that they banned Tucker from their premises after concerns were raised.
“We took immediate and decisive action to ensure a safe environment for all,” the lawyer added.
Despite these claims, none of the women filed formal complaints with law enforcement, and legal experts cited by The Baltimore Banner say that the statute of limitations has expired, meaning Tucker cannot face criminal charges.
Tucker denies accusations of inappropriate behaviour as NFL weighs in
)
Tucker, 35, has played for the Baltimore Ravens since signing as an undrafted free agent in 2012.
He is widely regarded as one of the greatest kickers in NFL history.
Following the release of the allegations, Tucker took to social media on Thursday to categorically deny all claims, calling them “unequivocally false.”
His legal team issued a strong defence, stating:
“Mr. Tucker has never behaved inappropriately during any massage therapy session, and certainly never in the manner described [by The Banner]. Any suggestion to the contrary is a fictitious and utterly baseless claim.”
Tucker's attorneys also dismissed the allegations as “impossible to prove” and refuted claims that their client had been banned from any of the spas in question.
The NFL has since released a statement acknowledging the allegations, saying: “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 league has the power to discipline players under its personal conduct policy, which prohibits behaviour that “undermines or puts at risk the integrity of the NFL.”
Notably, the NFL previously suspended Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson for 11 games and fined him $5 million after 24 women accused him of sexual misconduct during massage therapy sessions.
One of the alleged victims expressed her distress over the situation, telling The Baltimore Banner: “I can’t watch sports anymore. I see his face everywhere.”
With no criminal case possible, it remains to be seen whether the NFL will take disciplinary action against Tucker.
