The National Football League (NFL) is investigating Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker over allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior, according to three women who participated in the inquiry. The investigation was launched after 16 massage therapists across eight spas and wellness centers in the Baltimore area reported similar claims against Tucker.
According to the women, Tucker repeatedly exposed his erect genitals, brushed two therapists with his exposed penis, and left what appeared to be ejaculate on the massage table between 2012 and 2016. Two spas banned him from returning after learning of the allegations.
Tucker has denied all wrongdoing, claiming he was never banned from any establishment. However, three women who were interviewed by league investigators said they spent over 90 minutes discussing their interactions with Tucker. They expressed hope that the league would take action against him.
The NFL’s personal conduct policy states that players can face disciplinary action for behavior that poses a “genuine danger” to others or undermines the integrity of the league. Violations, including sexual assault involving physical force, can result in a six-game unpaid suspension.
In contrast to the situation with quarterback Deshaun Watson, who was accused of similar misconduct during massage sessions and received an 11-game unpaid suspension, the exact consequences for Tucker remain unclear.
