Baltimore Ravens General Manager Eric Decosta spoke of accusations of sexual mismatch against Kicker Justin Tucker during a press conference at the NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday.
The Baltimore banner reported that 16 massage therapists at eight spas have claimed Tucker engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior during spa sessions from 2012-16.
Tucker has denied all claims, but Decosta called the claims “serious and about.”

“The amount of accusations is serious and about,” he told journalists in Indianapolis.
“I think we are lucky that the league is doing a study. We are waiting as patient as we can for as much information as we can. We make our decisions based on it.”
Decosta added that he has met Tucker and the league since the allegations appeared, though he did not reveal details of the conversations with his kicker.

“I think in this case we are awaiting as much information as possible. I met with the league. I also think the league will meet with other people in Baltimore. We are waiting for the details of this investigation and making our decision based on it.”
Decosta said the team was aware of the claims published by Baltimore Banner, and that was the first time the team became aware of the claims.
The NFL allegedly began interviewing massage therapists that accused Tucker of inappropriate sexual behavior.

Last month, the first six alleged victims claimed that Tucker was repeatedly exposed to sessions spanning four years, including his rookie campaign when the Ravens won the Super Bowl.
The accusations placed him on four different spa and wellness centers, with claims that he would brush the therapists with his genitals and commit other actions with sexual mismatch.
Several massage therapists have emerged since the original Baltimore banner report with similar accusations.

“Throughout my career as a professional athlete, I have always tried to behave with the greatest professionalism. I have never been accused of mismatch of any kind, and I have never been accused of acting inappropriately in front of a massage therapist or during a massage therapy session Or during the second body, “Tucker’s statement said.
