Justin Tucker Denies Sexual Misconduct Allegations Amid NFL Investigation
Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has strongly denied allegations of sexual misconduct following an investigative report by the Baltimore Banner. The report cites accusations from six unnamed massage therapists, claiming inappropriate behavior between 2012 and 2016 at four different spas and wellness centers.
The allegations include claims that Tucker exposed himself, requested massages in inappropriate areas, and allegedly brushed against the therapists in a suggestive manner. Some therapists also allege that he left bodily fluids on massage tables, leading two spas to ban him. Despite these serious accusations, no legal action has been taken against him.
In response, the 35-year-old Tucker took to social media, calling the claims "unequivocally false." He stated, "I have never before been accused of misconduct of any kind... I have never been accused of acting inappropriately." Expressing his dismay, he dismissed the allegations as "desperate tabloid fodder" and accused the Baltimore Banner of distorting innocent or misinterpreted interactions.
The NFL has since launched an investigation into the allegations. League spokesman Brian McCarthy confirmed, "We take any allegation seriously and will look into the matter." The Ravens also acknowledged the situation, stating they are monitoring developments but have not taken any action against Tucker.
According to the Baltimore Banner report, some therapists cut sessions short or refused to work with Tucker due to his alleged behavior. Certain spas, including Ojas and Studio 921, reportedly banned him as a client. Tucker, however, denies ever being informed of such dismissals, stating, "I have never received any complaints from a massage therapist, and I have never been told I was not welcome at any spa or other place of business."
