Baltimore Ravens' Justin Tucker denies misconduct allegations from six massage therapists

Justin Tucker denies sexual misconduct allegations from six massage therapists as NFL looks into the matter.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has denied allegations of sexual misconduct following an investigative report by the Baltimore Banner.

The report details claims from six unnamed massage therapists who accuse Tucker of inappropriate behavior during treatments between 2012 and 2016.

According to the Baltimore Banner, the therapists alleged that Tucker exposed himself, requested massages in inappropriate areas, and, in two cases, made unwanted physical contact with his genitals. The report states that two Baltimore-area spas banned him, though no legal action has been taken.

Tucker, 35, responded in a statement posted on X, calling the claims “unequivocally false.” He asserted that he has “never been accused of acting inappropriately” during massage sessions, nor has he been told he was unwelcome at any business.

“In accusing me of misconduct, the article takes innocuous, or ambiguous, interactions and skews them so out of proportion they are no longer recognizable,” Tucker stated. “This is desperate tabloid fodder.”

The NFL acknowledged the allegations and confirmed it would investigate, stating, “We take any allegation seriously and will look into the matter.” The Ravens also issued a statement, emphasizing that they are monitoring the situation.

Tucker, widely regarded as the most accurate kicker in NFL history, won Super Bowl XLVII with the Ravens in 2013 and holds the highest career field goal percentage (89.1%). The investigation remains ongoing.
