More Accusations Emerge Against Ravens’ Justin Tucker

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his legal team even “provided a sworn declaration from the owner of Baltimore Spa & Salon,” which has since closed and been replaced by a new spa, that she never received any complaints about Tucker.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.
