Three additional mᴀssage therapists in the Baltimore area accused Ravens kicker Justin Tucker of Sєxual misconduct in interviews with the Baltimore Banner, according to the outlet.
The new report, published Saturday, occurred just two days after the Banner published its initial story where six mᴀssage therapists accused Tucker of alleged “inappropriate behavior” — and the collection of accusations now contains nine mᴀssage therapists across five spas, according to the outlet.
Tucker’s attorneys referred to his original statement from Thursday, which denied the allegations and described them as “unequivocally false” and “tabloid fodder,” in response to the new allegations, the Banner reported.
Nine therapists have spoken with the Banner, and a 10th is represented by the same attorneys five of the other mᴀssage therapists hired but reportedly has not spoken to the outlet.
One mᴀssage therapist told the Banner in the new story that Tucker allegedly stroked her inner thigh during one mᴀssage.
He also would expose “his erect genitals to me by untucking the drapes, regardless of how many times I have to redrape him and tell him he is messing up the drapes,” she wrote in a letter to The QG, her employer, in May 2015 that was obtained by the Banner.
She told the Banner she reached out to a reporter in 2015 but stopped after she became “afraid of retaliation.”
“The reason I didn’t go forward with it before was because I was terrified,” the mᴀssage therapist told the Banner. “What if I’m the only one who comes forward? I’m just some girl, and I’m going up against the king of Baltimore.”
Tucker was also accused by another therapist of “usually” having an erection during mᴀssages and once leaving “a puddle of sticky fluid on the sheets” following a mᴀssage that the therapist believed to be ejaculate.
In the Banner’s initial report, Tucker was also accused of allegedly leaving ejaculate on mᴀssage tables and brushing his exposed penis against mᴀssage therapists.
“I have never before been accused of misconduct of any kind, and I have never been accused of acting inappropriately in front of a mᴀssage therapist or during a mᴀssage therapy session or during other bodywork,” Tucker wrote in his statement Thursday. “I have never received any complaints from a mᴀssage therapist, have never been dismissed from a mᴀssage therapy or bodywork session, and have never been told that I was not welcome at any spa or other place of 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, and it presents vague insinuations as fact. This is desperate tabloid fodder.”
The Ravens said they “take any allegations of this nature seriously and will continue to monitor the situation” after the original Banner story, according to the outlet.
The league said in a statement that it would “look into the matter” regarding Tucker, a 35-year-old and five-time first-team All-Pro kicker who has played 13 seasons in Baltimore.
