The National Football League (NFL) is investigating Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker over allegations of sexual misconduct. Three women have already participated in the inquiry, and two more are scheduled to do so. The accusations claim that Tucker’s behavior was inappropriate between 2012 and 2016.
According to reports, six women from eight spas across the Baltimore area came forward with their experiences. They alleged that Tucker exposed his genitals, brushed against massage therapists with his penis, and left bodily fluids on the massage table. Two of the spas banned Tucker from returning.
Tucker has denied the allegations, calling them “unequivocally false.” He claims he never received complaints from massage therapists and was not told to leave any spa.
Despite the denial, the NFL is taking the allegations seriously. A spokesperson for the Ravens said they would continue to monitor developments, while an NFL spokesperson confirmed that the matter remains under review of the personal conduct policy.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell acknowledged his surprise at the allegations during his annual Super Bowl week news conference. He stated that the league will investigate and take action if necessary.
This incident is a reminder of similar cases in the past, such as Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson’s suspension for 11 games and $5 million fine after more than 20 women accused him of sexual misconduct during massage therapy sessions.
