NFL says he will analyze the accusations of massage therapists about Justin Tucker’s behavior

Baltimore (AP) – The NFL will analyze the accusations that Baltimore Ravens’ patedor Justin Tucker, behaved inappropriately towards massage therapists in four spas and well -being centers in the Baltimore area, said a spokesman for the league.

Baltimore’s banner detailed accusations in A long report Thursday.

The newspaper said he spoke with six massage therapists that related first -hand experiences with Tucker from 2012 to 2016.

Graphic warning: The following material may not be adequate for all audiences. The discretion of the spectator is recommended.

Several therapists said that Tucker’s sessions ended before or refused to work on him again, and two spas managers said they were forbidden to return.

“First we realized the accusations of the journalist who investigates this story, since they were not previously shared with the NFL,” said the league spokesman Brian McCarthy, in a statement. “We take any accusation seriously and analyze the matter.”

Tucker is accused of exposing his genitals, brushing two therapists with his exposed penis and leaving what they believed was semen at the massage table after three treatments, according to the banner.

Tucker published a statement In social networks Calling accusations about him in the history of Banner “unequivocally false.”

“By accusing me of misconduct, the article requires harmless or ambiguous interactions and biases so out of proportion that they are no longer recognizable, and presents vague insinuations as a fact,” he said.

Tucker, 35, has just finished his 13th season at the NFL, all with the Ravens. He has achieved stardom both in the entire league and among Baltimore fans in a way that is rare for a kicker, and his 66 -yard field goal in 2021 remains the longest kick in the history of the league.

In 2022, Tucker agreed a four -year contract extension during season 2027. That agreement included $ 17.5 million guaranteed.

“We are aware of the Baltimore Banner’s story regarding Justin Tucker and his response,” said a Ravens spokesman. “We take any accusation of this nature seriously and we will continue to monitor the situation.”

According to the Banner, a representative of the Spa Ojas chain said that Tucker was “immediately finished as a client” in 2014 after “a massage therapist reported an incident that supposedly occurred during a massage therapy session with Justin Tucker.” Studio 921 owners, who are now closed, said through a lawyer who “took immediate and decisive measures to prohibit this individual from our business and services to guarantee a safe environment for all.”

In his answer, Tucker said: “I have never received any complaint from a massage therapist, I have never been fired from a massage therapy or body session, and they have never told me that I was not welcome in any spa or another business place . “

The accusations have some similarities with unrelated accusations against another NFL player, Field Marshal Deshaun Watson. More than two dozen women accused Watson of sexual assault and harassment during massage therapy sessions while playing for Houston. After being changed to the Cleveland Browns, Watson lost the first 11 games of the 2022 season after an independent referee determined that he had violated the personal behavior policy of the League.
