Baltimore Ravens Justin Tucker’s Ravens, accused of sexual behavior inappropriate by several massage therapists in a Baltimore banner investigation, denied these accusations in a statement on Thursday, describing the allegations of “unequivocal”.
According to history, the massage therapists who worked with Tucker between 2012 and 2016 accused him of bad behavior. According to Thursday’s report, two spas prohibited him from returning.
On Saturday, the banner reported that three other massage therapists had accused tucker of misconduct, increasing the total of the accusers to nine massage therapists of five spas and wellness centers. One of the three women told the newspaper that she had contacted a journalist in 2015 to share her story of the incident, but did not continue to communicate due to the fear of reprisals.
On Thursday, NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy said that the League examined the issue and that she had taken note of the allegations of the journalist investigating history, “because they were not previously shared with the NFL . ” Tucker was not charged with a crime, and there is no civil trial against him at that time.
The banner said that most of the six original women who shared first -hand accounts of Tucker’s alleged actions did not know each other before. His alleged bad behavior includes the exposure of his genitals, brushing them with his penis and leaving bodily fluid on the tables, which, according to workers, seemed to ejaculate.
A therapist told the newspaper that she had informed Tucker before a massage that his wife was one of her customers. Despite this, Tucker exposed himself several times, she said in history.
“Our customers have comforted the public of their experiences and heard by the public and validation knowing that they are not alone,” said Michael Belsky and Catherine Dickinson, the lawyers representing the massage therapists, said Athletics In an email on Thursday. “Although it is only a step forward in the recovery process, it is important and stimulating for any survivor of sexual misconduct to tell their story and make people listen to.”
Tucker’s lawyers told the banner that it was “trivial” and “not news” that he could have been exposed during a massage. Tucker’s lawyers have argued in the newspaper that athletes often move due to discomfort, and massage therapists are those that adjust the covers.
In his response published on social networks Thursday, Tucker said he had never received complaints from a massage therapist, had never been dismissed from a massage therapy session and was never informed that he was not welcome in any spa.
Tucker said that reporting to distort its interactions out of proportion and has described the history of “desperate tabloid fodder”.
The ALL-PRO botter said that he had hired a defamation law firm when learning the article. According to his declaration, the banner refused to reveal the complete affirmations taken from Tucker, and later after sharing “some of this information,” gave him almost no time to provide an answer.
Tucker’s lawyers did not respond to a request for comments from Athletics.
“Once I examined the newspaper’s allegations against me, it was obvious that the newspaper deliberately interprets events as harmful (which were not),” wrote Tucker, 35.
“We are aware of the history of the Baltimore banner concerning Justin Tucker as well as his answer,” said a spokesperson for Ravens Athletics. “We take seriously all allegation of this nature and will continue to monitor the situation.”
