Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has now been accused of sexual misconduct by 16 different massage therapists.<\/div>\n
\"Baltimore<\/p>\n
B<\/a>altimore Ravens\u00a0kicker\u00a0Justin Tucker, who was\u00a0accused in January of sexual misconduct\u00a0by nine female massage therapists, has now been similarly accused by seven more massage therapists.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Baltimore Banner’s Julie Scharper, Brenna Smith, and Justin Fenton\u00a0reported today that the\u00a0women allege Tucker \u201cacted inappropriately\u201d at several spas in Baltimore.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cTheir allegations are largely similar to those of the women who came forward earlier, including that he had an erection for most of the massage, intentionally and repeatedly exposed his genitals and brushed some of the therapists\u2019 thighs with his fingers,\u201d The Banner’s report reads. \u201cOne of the seven new women said he left what appeared to be ejaculate on the massage table after his session.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe women also provided similar details that The Banner had not previously reported. One said Tucker made intense eye contact throughout the massage while exposed, and others said he used his erect penis to move the sheet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Instead of issuing a new statement in response to the new allegations, The Banner said Tucker’s representatives referenced Tucker’s statement from Jan. 30\u00a0following the initial\u00a0allegations. In the statement,\u00a0Tucker said what he was accused of was \u201cunequivocally false\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and that The Banner’s \u201carticle takes innocuous, or ambiguous, interactions and skews them so out of proportion they are no longer recognizable, and it presents vague insinuations as fact.\u201d<\/p>\n

All 16 women, according to The Banner, claim the alleged misconduct occurred between 2012, Tucker’s rookie season with the Ravens, and 2016.<\/p>\n

Tucker has long been considered one of the best kickers in the NFL; he is an eight-time All-Pro selection and holds the NFL records for the longest field goal ever (66 yards) and best career field-goal percentage (89.1%). This past season, however,\u00a0Tucker uncharacteristically struggled, as he made a career-low 73.3% of his kicks and was not voted as a Pro Bowler nor All-Pro for the first time since 2015.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
