Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker is currently facing allegations of sexual misconduct from multiple massage therapists in the Baltimore area. Initially, six therapists accused Tucker of inappropriate behavior during sessions between 2012 and 2016. These allegations include claims that Tucker exposed himself, engaged in inappropriate touching, and left bodily fluids on massage tables.
Following the initial reports, three additional therapists have come forward with similar accusations, bringing the total number to nine. One therapist alleged that Tucker stroked her inner thigh during a session and repeatedly exposed his genitals despite her attempts to maintain proper draping. Another therapist claimed that Tucker often had an erection during massages and once left a “puddle of sticky fluid” on the sheets, believed to be ejaculate.
In response to these allegations, Tucker has issued a statement vehemently denying any wrongdoing. He asserts that he has always conducted himself with professionalism and respect, stating, “I have never before been accused of misconduct of any kind, and I have never been accused of acting inappropriately in front of a massage therapist or during a massage therapy session or during other bodywork.” Tucker also criticized the reporting of the allegations, describing them as “unequivocally false” and “desperate tabloid fodder.”
The Baltimore Ravens organization has acknowledged the seriousness of the allegations and is monitoring the situation closely. The NFL has also stated that it will look into the matter.
These developments have prompted discussions within the NFL community, especially considering past incidents involving players and allegations of sexual misconduct. The situation remains under investigation, and further updates are anticipated as more information becomes available.
