A Baltimore Ravens kicker, Justin Tucker, has been accused of sexual misconduct by over a dozen massage therapists, with seven more women claiming victimization. The total accusers are 16 at eight spas in the Baltimore area, according to a recent investigation by Baltimore Banner.
Female massage therapists reported Tucker having an erection, intentionally exposing himself, and touching therapists' thighs. A new woman claimed semen was left on the table after his session, leading to spas banning him from the premises.

Seven more massage therapists have accused Justin Tucker of inappropriate sexual behavior​

Seven more massage therapists have accused Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker of inappropriate sexual behavior, bringing the total accusers to 16, six from the original report and ten more since. Seven new women have accused Tucker of inappropriate behavior at luxury spas, following three therapists who spoke out in February following the Banner's original expose on Jan. 30. The accusers include those at the city's most luxurious spas.
The Banner noted that their "allegations are largely similar to those of the women who came forward earlier, including that he had an erection for most the massage, intentionally and repeatedly exposed his genitals and brushed some of the therapists’ thighs with his fingers."
16 accusers allege that incidents occurred between 2012 and 2016. One woman claims Tucker left ejaculate on the massage table, while another claims he made intense eye contact and used his erect penis to move the sheet. The allegations are supported by the Banner.
Tucker's representatives refrained from commenting on new allegations, pointing to the kicker's initial statement, which he deemed "unequivocally false" and criticized the outlet's "journalistic failures."
Tucker was banned from returning to two Baltimore-area spas due to his unconscionable behavior, but his attorneys denied this claim. The owner of Baltimore Spa & Salon provided a sworn declaration, stating she never received complaints or suspected any misconduct.

Therapists from the spa did not report Tucker to supervisors due to fear of retaliation. The NFL has stated that it takes any allegation seriously and will investigate, while the Ravens will continue to monitor the situation.
