In an ongoing controversy, more women have come forward with accusations against Justin Tucker, the star kicker for the Baltimore Ravens, alleging inappropriate behavior during massage sessions. The number of massage therapists accusing Tucker has now reached 16, with seven additional women revealing their experiences to the Baltimore Banner.
Justin Tucker's inappropriate behavior at luxury spas
The new accusers describe incidents that occurred at some of Baltimore's most upscale spas, including The Spa at the Four Seasons Hotel and the Baltimore Spa & Salon at the Ritz-Carlton Residences.
These women claim Tucker exposed himself during sessions and made unwanted physical contact, such as touching their thighs. The nature of these allegations mirrors those made by the first group of accusers, who have reported similar misconduct from Tucker between 2012 and 2016.
Details of the allegations made against Justin Tucker
Several of the new accusers have shared disturbing details about Tucker's behavior, including reports that he maintained an erection throughout the massage and intentionally exposed his genitals.
One therapist reported finding what appeared to be ejaculate on the massage table after the session. These actions have drawn significant concern, as the pattern of behavior appears to be consistent across multiple women.
Justin Tucker denies the allegations
Justin Tucker’s representatives have yet to provide comments on the new allegations, referring to a statement he released on social media on January 30. In this statement, Tucker denied the accusations, asserting that he had never been accused of misconduct and had always acted appropriately during professional bodywork sessions.
Tucker’s legal team also presented a sworn declaration from the owner of Baltimore Spa & Salon, who stated that no complaints had been made against Tucker during his visits. However, several therapists from the spa mentioned they had not reported Tucker's behavior out of fear for their jobs.
Impact on victims and NFL response
One of the women interviewed by 'The Banner' said she experienced a panic attack after the first wave of allegations became public. The NFL, which claimed to be unaware of the accusations until January, stated that it would investigate the matter.
The case has drawn comparisons to the 2022 situation involving Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, who was suspended for 11 games and fined $5 million after over 20 women came forward with allegations of sexual misconduct during massage sessions.
Tucker, 35, has been with the Ravens since his rookie year in 2012 and has built a reputation as one of the NFL's top kickers, earning five All-Pro selections. However, his performance in the 2024 season was notably subpar, with Tucker making just 73% of his kicks—his worst season yet. Prior to 2024, he had never missed more than 17% of his kicks in a season.
