Ravens’ Kicker Justin Tucker Accused Of Inappropriate Sexual Behavior By 6 Massage Therapists
Six massage therapists have come forward to accuse Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker of engaging in inappropriate sexual behavior during sessions.
An investigation by the Baltimore Banner revealed that Tucker has been banned from at least two spas in the Baltimore region, with accusations coming from four locations in total. Some of the therapists who spoke with the publication claimed that they ended sessions with Tucker early due to his behavior. All of the incidents occurred between 2012 and 2016.
All six gave roughly similar descriptions of Tucker’s conduct during massages, which often included requests to massage his thighs and pelvic region while he was aroused. The kicker also reportedly maneuvered in ways so that he could expose his genitals to therapists and attempted to make contact with two of them.
Tucker’s lawyers have denied all accusations related to his behavior and claimed that he was never banned from any facilities.

“Mr. Tucker has never behaved inappropriately during any massage therapy session, and certainly never in the manner described,” the lawyers said in a statement. “Any suggestion to the contrary is a fictitious and utterly baseless claim.”
This is a developing story, one that could soon include legal action and an NFL investigation. In 2021, quarterback Deshaun Watson was accused of engaging in sexually abusive behavior during massages and eventually had to settle nearly two dozen civil lawsuits. He missed the entire 2021 season and was formally suspended for 11 games the following year.
Tucker was signed by the Ravens in 2012 after four seasons at the University of Texas. He is often considered one of the greatest kickers in NFL history and has gained immense popularity. Off the field, Tucker has built an identity around his Catholic faith.
“I’m very happy about the opportunity I have to kick in the NFL, and I’ll try to do it as long as possible,” Tucker said in a 2013 interview. “It’s a great adventure but also a unique platform for sharing what matters most in life: God’s love for us. That love is the ultimate motivation for trying to live an upright life.”
