Ravens Kicker Justin Tucker Accused of Inappropriate Sexual Behavior
Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has been accused of inappropriate sexual behavior by six massage therapists at four high-end spas and wellness centers in the Baltimore region, according to an investigation by the Baltimore Banner.
The story by The Banner contains graphic descriptions in regards to the accusations against Tucker.
Two spas say they banned Tucker. He denies the bans and the behavior that women say has left them emotionally scarred.
Attorneys for Tucker denied the allegations of inappropriate behavior, calling them speculative and “impossible to prove.”
After receiving a tip on Jan. 9, The Banner began investigating and spoke to six massage therapists who recounted troubling firsthand experiences with Tucker from 2012 to 2016. The women said they had long wanted to tell their stories.
“I’ve told people about this over the years, and they either act like it’s hot goss[ip] or a joke,” said one therapist who worked on Tucker in 2016. “But it was really degrading.”
A tweet about Tucker from 2021 has also gone viral. @MCsburner on X wrote, “Justin Tucker is canceled but it’s not my place to provide the reason. Let’s just say he’s been told by many massage places to never come back.”
The NFL stated that they are taking “any allegation seriously and will look into the matter.”
“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 Ravens said in a released statement.
Tucker also released a statement. He said the allegations in the Baltimore Banner’s article are unequivocally false.
Tucker could be found in violation of NFL and team rules, depending on how the investigation unfolds. The league’s personal conduct policy prohibits behavior that “undermines or puts at risk the integrity of the NFL.”
Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson was suspended by the NFL in 2022 and fined $5 million for violating the NFL’s personal-conduct policy after more than 20 women alleged that Watson committed sexual misconduct during massage therapy sessions.
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh implemented a “zero-tolerance policy” toward domestic violence when asked about Watson’s suspension following accusations of sexual misconduct.
Tucker, who is one of the best kickers in NFL history, is considered a Ravens legend and icon in the Baltimore sports landscape.
