Baltimore Banner‘s reporting on the allegations of sexual misconduct against Ravens kicker Justin Tucker from six massage therapists has shaken the community. Tucker denied the allegations, but an NFL investigation will discern more.

The allegations sound eerily similar to Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson’s which resulted in a 2022 eleven-game suspension and a $5 million fine.
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh mentioned the team’s zero-tolerance policy when Watson’s allegations were being investigated. It now looks like that policy will be tested most unexpectedly with a potential future Hall of Famer in Justin Tucker.
What Is The Ravens’ “Zero Tolerance” Policy?
On August 1, 2022, in the heat of the Watson case, Harbaugh said: “I respect what Steve Bisciotti and Dick Cass created here almost 10 years ago. Basically, what we decided [was] that we’re kind of zero tolerance. We’ve stayed away from that particular situation. I’m glad we have that policy.”
At the time, he did not expand upon what zero tolerance meant, but critics noted then that this was the same organization many believed did not adequately deal with public off-the-field problems of former players Ray Lewis and Ray Rice.
What Is Justin Tucker Accused Of?
The full story is in the Baltimore Banner which received a tip on January 9 and began investigating it. The incidents occurred between 2012 and 2016. Two massage parlors allegedly told Tucker he was not allowed to return.
Six massage therapists are involved in the publication’s story. One of the incidents happened when one of the therapists was pregnant.

What Did The Ravens Know?
It is unclear if the Ravens knew about this before the story broke.
Zero tolerance is about to be put to the test if the allegations prove true.
