Justin Tucker

Seven more massage therapists have accused Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker of sexually inappropriate behavior, joining nine others who previously alleged misconduct, according to a report from The Baltimore Banner published Sunday.

The latest allegations are similar to the ones originally raised by The Banner’s reporting, including accusations that Tucker exposed his genitals, had an erection for most of the massage and brushed some of the workers’ thighs with his fingers, according to the new report.

THANKS, LP...

I had not heard anything about this. Either I'm completely out of the loop on this, or I've just missed it. With the constant barrage of national reporting on Deshaun Watson, I am really surprised there has been little or nothing in the news feeds about Tucker.
OR --- I am just oblivious..!!

BTW -- When did this story first break..???

Thanks again, LP.. Bears watching.!!!

Justin Tucker Scandal Explodes: 16 Women Accuse NFL Star of Misconduct

That's crazy... Can't believe I missed that.  

Have to wonder.... I understand that there is no excuse for getting "handsy" (uninvited..) with anyone. But here is my question. WHY are all of these women waiting around and then ganging up with their accusations.?? WHY don't they bring this stuff to light when it happens.???  This sounds an awful lot like one of those "ME TOO" scenarios.  Second question: I wonder if there was any forced/unwanted 'contact' with the women.?? OR was the issue about "erections".??

There is a reason I ask.... A few years back, I dated a massage therapist for over a year.  She told me several times about having younger guys on her table and seeing a lot of erections. We talked about it. She told me that massage therapists had to be licensed (at least here in NC..), and had to have a number of hours of recurring training for re-licensure every two years. Apparently, "erections" are just part of the deal. It's part of their training. They have to understand that erections are a normal occurrence on a massage table with MOST men. Nothing to be upset about, she said. Just an everyday occurrence.

Now obviously, like with Deshaun Watson, any unwanted "contact" is way out of bounds. But several of Watson's accusers admitted to having consensual sex at some point while this was happening. So, you have to wonder about Tucker's situation. If these women have been doing "body work" for any length of time (years) and have gone through licensure and recurring training, then they are WELL ACQUAINTED with erections. Young (generally) active women, naked men, touching, rubbing, massage oils, etc., etc. Erections are going to happen.  It's a biological certainty.

I think he was banned from several places for inappropriate behavior.  Likely they did not know the same thing had or would happen to others.  Must have been pretty creepy. Sexual abuse is sometimes an isolating (and complicated) experience.  I think safety in numbers is sometimes what gives other the incentive and/or courage to come forward.

Well... It appears that this newsworthy situation is about to come full circle.  I remembered that LP started a conversation about this several months back, so I am appending this latest information. I have not heard anything from any league sources about this, so I assume they are still investigating. I might be that the league is close to announcing it's decision though. ...Or maybe not... Who knows?

There is one thing that is definite though. Justin Tucker has lived out his usefulness in Baltimore. Today, the Ravens have announced that Justin Tucker has been released. A rather ignominious end for one of the most productive kickers in NFL history. It was just last year that he fell from the #1 spot in 'accuracy' for a period of time when Panthers kicker Eddie Pineiro took over the #1 spot temporarily. Tucker took it back a few weeks later.

Now, his immediate future and his career are in question.

That took a little too long IMO.   Maybe they were trying to work out a trade with Cleveland.

LOL  

I suspect that until the league makes it's decision, there will be little or NO movement toward Justin Tucker. it would make no sense for a team to trade for him, or sign him if he ends up suspended or on a "persona-non-grata" list of some sort. Once it has been worked out at league level, I would expect SOME team (????) to bring him aboard.... Probably with a VERY clear set of appropriate guidelines that would allow the team an out at the first hint of trouble.!!

"Tucker’s alleged misbehavior took place between 2012 and 2016". So it took them THIS long to make up their time to report this??? Ludicrous.
