Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has been accused of sexual misconduct by six massage therapists at four spas in the Baltimore area, according to a report by The Baltimore Banner.
The therapists allege a yearslong pattern of abuse and misconduct, and two spas—Ojas and Studio 921—told the Banner that they had banned Tucker as a customer.
The therapists told the Banner that the behavior from the kicker included “exposing his genitals, brushing two of them with his exposed penis, and leaving what they believed to be ejaculate on the massage table.”
In a six-paragraph statement posted on X/Twitter, Tucker denied the allegations, calling the story “unequivocally false” and claimed the outlet was “deliberately misconstruing events as nefarious.”
“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’s statement read.
Tucker’s attorneys, Thomas A. Clare and Steven J. Harrison of law firm Clare Locke, also denied the claims of sexual misconduct and said he was never banned from any spas.
“Mr. Tucker has never behaved inappropriately during any massage therapy session, and certainly never in the manner described [by the reports],” the lawyers told the Banner.
Ojas said Tucker was “terminated as a client” in 2014, while Studio 921, which is no longer operational, allegedly banned Tucker in 2016. Tucker’s attorneys showed the Banner emails indicating Tucker had been invited back to Studio 921 for additional appointments in 2018.
“We are aware of the Baltimore Banner’s story regarding Justin Tucker,” a Ravens spokesperson said in a statement to Front Office Sports. “We take any allegations of this nature seriously and will continue to monitor the situation.”
The NFL did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The accusations against Tucker come two years after Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson was accused by over two dozen women of sexual misconduct for massage appointments spanning from 2019 to 2021. He has settled 25 of 27 lawsuits over the last three years.
Watson was suspended 11 games and fined $5 million by the NFL in 2022. He was traded from the Texans to the Browns in the middle of the investigation, and he received a fully guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract in 2022 from Cleveland.
Tucker, 35, is a 13-year NFL veteran and widely regarded as one of the best kickers of all time. He won a Super Bowl with Baltimore and is a five-time Pro Bowler whose performance dipped to career lows this past season.
