2025 continues to be a rough year for Ravens veteran Justin Tucker. After underwhelming at points in the kicking game the past two seasons, Tucker opened the new year disappointing off the field, as well. Near the end of January, Tucker was accused of sexual misconduct from six massage therapists; three days later, three more therapists came out with more allegations. This morning Julie Scharper, Brenna Smith, and Justin Fenton of The Baltimore Banner released a report detailing the accounts of seven more massage therapists with similar allegations.
The initial report in January, also from the Banner, alleged that inappropriate conduct took place at four high-end Baltimore-area spas and wellness centers. Tucker was accused of “exposing his genitals,” touching two of the therapists with his erect penis, and leaving “what they believed to be ejaculate” on massages tables after three of the sessions. Two spas reportedly banned the seven-time Pro Bowler, while several of the therapists either ended sessions early or refused to work with him again.
The second report in early February came from three women who worked at the same Baltimore men’s spa. One woman from that group produced an internal report regarding her interactions with Tucker from 2015. The new report includes accusers from two luxurious spas from the Baltimore area, The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel and the Baltimore Spa & Salon at the Ritz-Carlton Residences. The allegations are similar, including reports that Tucker had an erection for most of a massage, intentionally exposed his genitals, brushed some therapists’ thighs with his fingers, and left what appeared to be ejaculate on the table.
Now totaling 16 accusers, all women reportedly claim that the 2010’s All-Decade Team member’s actions date back to 2012, when the veteran kicker first arrived from Austin as a rookie. The claims see his actions continue until 2016.
As his representatives did after the first allegations, Tucker’s attorneys have denied any wrongdoing and the claim of his being banned. According to the Banner, his legal team even “provided a sworn declaration from the owner of Baltimore Spa & Salon,” which has since closed and been replaced by a new spa, that she never received any complaints about Tucker. As the report adds, though, the therapists in question did not alert their supervisors of Tucker’s actions for fear of losing their jobs.
An NFL investigation into this situation looms, while the Ravens continue to monitor the situation. Three years (but no guaranteed base salaries) remain on Tucker’s pact, and a post-June 1 release would yield $4.2MM in cap savings and create $2.87MM in dead money for 2025 while bringing about an end to the 35-year-old’s Baltimore tenure. Any further developments on this front will continue to shape how the situation is handled.

Giving Deshaun Watson a run for his money.
I guess when your job entails about 60 seconds a week of actual activity you get a little antsy and need to release that energy somehow. What a dirtbag.
Typical Raven
Watson, Tucker and Kraft walk into a parlor……………
Atleast Krafts victims were willing lol
Are you sure about that?
He has played his last NFL game. Looked washed last year anyway
Kickers are rinse and repeated often. He’s much more likely to go the McManus route of being released for the PR reasons, then latch on with the Cardinals or something.
After his 11 game suspension
49ers desperate for a kicker and he’d fit right in to the landscape. People would prob think he’s a politician or insurance salesman doing stuff like that in SF.
Don’t give up on Moody.. he came back too early from injury. He wanted to be out there for his team.
Lmao wtf r u going on about
I’d like to say he will face a lengthy suspension but for some reason I can see the NFL spinning this as to diminish the acts and possible suspension
Sounds like Tucker needs to come clean.
I think that’s what got him in trouble.
It was like shooting fish in a barrel.
Time for another response from you: He’s going to blow a wad on a lawyer.
I guess he couldn’t kick the habit…
for yer health
Idk about this one. If he’s leaving stuff on the table, wouldn’t there have to be other things going on besides him just spontaneously leaving it there?
The ESPN article mentions one of the accusations as “intense eye contact”
how awesome would it be to just literally look at something long enough without doing anything else and be able to, you know

Of course more come forward because they think they are going to get a free payday.. I think most of these are false. Where were they in the whole Deshaun Watson scandal? Why didn’t they say anything about Justin Tucker 3 years ago? News flash ladies kickers don’t make a lot of money compared to other positions.
Go back to your cave, knuckle-dragger.
OR, yknow.. this may be a leap here, but maybe, just maybe, the accusations are true and these guys just think because they are athletes they can get away with it. I guess we will need to see how it all plays out.
You know that old saying, “Where there’s smoke….”, this is becoming a forest fire! Now there’s 13 accusers, he’s halfway to Deshaun Watson territory! By that standard, he’ll miss 6-8 games based on what Deshaun Watson got. They’re already gonna need another kicker to cover him during his suspension, but when you factor in his misses last year, nobody is gonna want to pay him more than three million. That might be the best offer he gets if he gets cut.
Yes, he’s guilty, it’s a fact, just because you say so. No trial needed because some doofus on the Internet said so. Case closed.
Now, the reality. Having a reaction during a massage is apparently quite common.link to integrativehealthcare.org. And waiting 8+ years to claim you were harassed is suspect. So, wait until the evidence comes out and make a judgement.
I hope nobody here made any bets that it would be a dull off-season 🙂
Let’s burn one for JT.
Remember this was all started by a newspaper targeting someone, not alleged victims making a public statement. And what does every media outlet have as it’s first underlying priority? Given that angle, it’s no wonder some things as mentioned above aren’t adding up as even humanly possible.
Things I never want to read again in my sports news…erection and ejaculate
I think most of us probably share that sentiment but I can’t honestly say I’d want NFL to stand for Neutered Football League.
Could it be that these women saw that the women in the other case get paid and they decided that they could make some money also? Apparently his “reaction” is fairly common. (link to integrativehealthcare.org).
Never had a massage so I would not know. As for “showing off his mini me” that’s kind of a no brainer. Laying on a table, wrapped in towels and “hello, I’m Justin jr”, moment happens that’s just par for the course. You as a massage therapist have to know that eventually you will see a penis,unless you’re an idiot. Strange it happened 8+ years ago and just now was reported, and we have no videotape, we have no evidence, and the place has closed. Sounds like a money grab to me.
Kickers are replaceable
Lies. This is all just a ridiculous attempt by Tucker’s agent to get $50 million fully guaranteed in his next contract.
can’t wait till goodell announces the browns have traded for tucker at the draft
Always tip well…..
