New allegations surfaced against Baltimore Ravens’ kicker Justin Tucker, with seven more massage therapists accusing him of inappropriate behavior, raising the total to 16 as reported by The Baltimore Banner.
The accusations against Justin Tucker span from 2012 to 2016, according to the latest report by The Baltimore Banner. Notably, two spas allegedly banned Tucker from returning, although his attorneys contest this claim. They presented a sworn declaration from a spa owner confirming no complaints were filed against him.
Tucker’s legal representation maintains that he was never banned from any spas and held a favorable reputation among the spa’s employees. Despite the seriousness of the allegations, none of the initial six accusers filed lawsuits or sought law enforcement intervention, and it remains unclear whether the remaining 10 accusers have taken legal action.
The accusers, now totaling 16, are represented by attorneys Michael Belsky and Catherine Dickinson, who are in the process of collecting facts and determining the sequence of events. Meanwhile, the NFL is reviewing the matter under its Personal Conduct Policy, as the claims pose potential violations.
Justin Tucker has vehemently denied these allegations, labeling them as ‘unequivocally false’ and asserting that they distort normal interactions. He expressed the emotional toll these accusations have taken, particularly on his family, and underscored his commitment to clear his name.
As the situation unfolds, privacy concerns persist, as none of the accusers have publicly identified themselves, citing fears of retaliation. The most recent accusers have pointed to behaviors such as inappropriate touching and unjustified exposure during massage sessions.
According to The Banner, these new allegations echo the earlier ones, prompting additional therapists to come forward. The NFL acknowledged only learning of these claims through media channels and confirmed such reports were not previously shared directly with the league.
With Justin Tucker’s denial and the NFL’s ongoing review, the Baltimore Ravens also acknowledged awareness of these reports, stating they are closely monitoring the situation. Justin Tucker, a revered player recognized as one of the most successful kickers in NFL history, faces significant scrutiny as investigations continue.
As allegations against Justin Tucker continue to mount, the NFL and associated legal parties face increased pressure to address and resolve these claims. The situation underscores the importance of due process and the need for all parties involved to navigate these serious allegations with care and diligence.
