Three more massage therapists have accused Ravens kicker Justin Tucker of inappropriate behavior during massage sessions, according to a new article published by the Baltimore Banner.
The new allegations are similar to those made by six massage therapists in an earlier article, claiming that Tucker exhibited inappropriate behavior between 2012 and 2016 in the Baltimore area, leading to him being banned from two spas. Tucker has categorically denied these allegations, describing them as “unequivocally false.”
The NFL announced that it was investigating the allegations, but stated that it had no further comment. Tucker’s attorneys referred a request for comment to his statement on Thursday.
The statement denies any wrongdoing on Tucker’s part, stating that he has always conducted himself in a professional manner and has never received any complaints from massage therapists. The Baltimore Ravens organization announced that it took the allegations seriously and would continue to monitor the situation.
Additional allegations were revealed in the Banner’s article on Saturday, including an internal report from a luxury spa in which a massage therapist stated that she no longer felt “safe or comfortable working with” Tucker following an incident in 2015. Two former employees from the same spa also accused Tucker of inappropriate behavior in the article.
