Baltimore Raven’s President Sashi Brown talked briefly about the allegations against All-Pro Kicker Justin Tucker on Sunday when the league was ready for his annual meeting.
Tucker faced several accusations of sexual mismatches from massage therapists in late January and February. The Super Bowl champion refused the accusations in a statement to Outkick.

Brown said there was no schedule for when the investigation of the claims would be over.
“These studies take time,” Brown said through the team’s site. “It is never satisfactory for anyone involved, probably including Justin and the people who made the claims. But this is a question, generally as a society with regard to women who make claims that require a lot of courage and bravery, and frankly as a society we have not been quite too long.
“From our point of view, we want to ensure that we have a great understanding of the facts, hear both sides of the situation and that we allow the study to be conducted correctly and completed and make decisions based on full information.”

Brown added that the team has been in contact with the league “on a regular basis.”
“For many reasons you can imagine, you won’t have more studies going on. [That would] Not be fair to anyone involved, including those who have made claims, ”he added.
Sixteen massage therapists claimed Tucker engaged in inappropriate behavior at more than half a dozen massage rooms between 2012 and 2016. The Baltimore banner first reported the allegations.
Tucker told Outkick that he “never intended to respect anyone, cross any limit or make someone feel uncomfortable in any way.”

“It ruins me to know that anyone I have been working on would not have felt respected and appreciated as a professional, but more importantly as a person, and for anyone who has felt otherwise, I am sorry,” he added. “I want you to know that I am obliged to make sure everyone I interact with continues to feel that I respect them and love them as a human being.”
