Three more massage therapists have come forward with allegations of sexually inappropriate behavior against Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker.
Earlier this week, the Baltimore Banner published its report where six Baltimore-area massage therapists accused Tucker of sexual misconduct. Following its publication, three more therapists — all of whom were employed at Baltimore luxury spa The QG — opened up about their own similar encounters with the All-Pro placekicker.
One of the women, called “M” in the Banner‘s new report to protect her identity, also shared an email she wrote to the QG’s management in May 2015 stating that even though Tucker is “an important client,” she could “no longer feel comfortable working on Justin Tucker.”
“He has made it a point in previous sessions to 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,” M wrote in the nearly decade-old email.
“Additionally, at his most recent appointment, he made it a point to run his fingers along my inner thigh,” and that after the appointment, M found “a large spot of ejaculation on my bottom sheet right where his genitals would have been laying on the table.”
M added, “This put me in a very compromising and uncomfortable situation.”
Despite M’s email to management, Tucker remained a client of the spa until he canceled his membership. Tucker’s lawyers provided the Baltimore Banner with an email, written by another QG massage therapist, telling Tucker it had “been a pleasure working with you the past few years.”
The author of the email, identified as “A,” told the Banner that it was one of her duties to write similar emails to high-profile clients, and shared her own experiences detailing Tucker’s inappropriate behavior, which included exposing his genitals. “I feel guilty for not speaking up sooner because maybe it could be brought to light sooner,” A said.
Tucker’s attorneys Thomas A. Clare and Steven J. Harrison previously denied the claims to the Banner, saying that Tucker “has never behaved inappropriately during any massage therapy session, and certainly never in the manner described.” They also called the latest accusations “unremarkable.”
Taking to social media on Thursday, Tucker called the allegations “unequivocally false” in an extensive statement posted on social media. He said that he’d “never before been accused of misconduct of anytime. He said the Banner in particular was “deliberately misconstruing events as nefarious” while calling the newspaper’s report “desperate tabloid fodder.”
“I maintain I did not act inappropriately at any point before, during, or after a professional bodywork treatment session,” Tucker wrote. “I would never intent to offend or hurt anyone, ever.”
Tucker isn’t the first NFL star to face allegations like these from massage therapists. Over two dozen massage therapists accused Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson of sexual misconduct back in 2021, filing civil suits against him. The NFL gave him a slap on the wrist, suspending him for six games, and most of the suits have been settled.
M, who has since hired the law firm that is also representing six of Tucker’s other alleged victims, first approached Baltimore-area media about her accusations in 2015, but opted not to pursue the matter.
“The reason I didn’t go forward with it before was because I was terrified,” M 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.”
