NFL kicker Justin Tucker accused of sexual misconduct by 6 masseuses: report

(NEXSTAR) – Justin Tucker, kicker for the Baltimore Ravens, has been accused by six massage therapists at four separate businesses of sexually inappropriate behavior, the Baltimore Banner reported Thursday. Tucker immediately denied the allegations.

The Banner said they received a tip about the inappropriate behavior earlier this month and investigated the allegations. The massage therapists told the Banner that Tucker exposed his genitals and made unwanted physical contact.

The alleged acts happened between 2012 and 2016 “at four high-end spas and wellness centers in the Baltimore region,” according to the outlet. In two cases, Tucker was banned from reporting, spa managers told the Banner.

Tucker denied the reporting in a statement shared on X. “The allegations in The Baltimore Banner article about are unequivocally false,” he wrote. He accused the journalists of “deliberately misconstruing events as nefarious” and not giving him adequate time to respond to the claims.

“I have always made a conscious effort to be considerate and respectful in all of the interactions with the community that I love so much,” the statement said in part. “It is devastating for me to learn that anyone would feel I was offensive in any way. I maintain I did not act inappropriately at any point before, during, or after a professional bodywork treatment session.”

Tucker also notes he has hired legal counsel. His attorneys also denied the allegations to the Banner.

An NFL spokesperson said the league is taking the allegations seriously and investigating.
