The Baltimore Ravens continue to be in the news during Super Bowl week despite being knocked out of the playoffs. The team’s kicker Justin Tucker who is revered as being one of the best players at the position in NFL history has found himself in the same situation as Deshaun Watson.
Earlier this week, six women had come forward and alleged Justin Tucker of indulging in sexually inappropriate behavior during his massage sessions. Now three more women have come forward which takes the total count to nine women accusing him of the common thing.
All the therapists have come forward and shared their accounts with The Baltimore Banner. Some of the allegations against him date back to his early days in Baltimore. The source has stated that none of the women knew one another but “gave strikingly similar accounts of Tucker’s behavior.” Five women claimed he asked them to massage his inner thighs under inappropriate circumstances.
The NFL has begun investigating the allegations against Justin Tucker
The kicker was subsequently banned from two spas and his behavior made some of the women end his sessions early. For now, Justin Tucker has released a statement swearing innocence. These allegations are disastrous to his career and his image and goodwill in Baltimore. With two more years on his deal, the outcome of this case could derail what is left of Tucker’s career.
The NFL has made it clear that it intends to look into these allegations. The league understands that it needs to handle this situation better than it did with Deshaun Watson.
We first became aware of the allegations from the reporter investigating this story as they were not previously shared with the NFL. We take any allegation seriously and will look into the matter.
Brian McCarthy said, the spokesperson of the NFL
Despite an 11-game suspension and a hefty fine, fans were not satisfied because he wound up receiving the biggest QB contract with his money fully guaranteed before the punishment was levied. Right now, they will investigate their end to look into the merit of these claims. It is a careful process that could take months depending on how the legal process unwinds in Tucker’s case.
