The NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has talked about the 'serious' accusations made against the star of the Baltimore Ravens, Justin Tucker, last week.
Nine employees of five different spas and well -being centers in the Baltimore area have presented claims against the 35 -year -old married Catholic and in exercise.
It is alleged that Tucker, who has been married to his wife Amanda since 2015, presented his genitals, brushed two workers with his exposed penis and left what he believed he was ejaculated at the massage tables after three of his treatments.
Tucker, a Catholic in exercise, has denied the accusations, which appeared for the first time in the Baltimore banner. In a statement, he described them 'unequivocally false'.
Goodell went to the shocking accusations on Monday before the Super Bowl, the largest date in the NHL calendar, this week.
The commissioner admitted that he was “surprised” by the accusations when he was pressed on the position of the NFL about what should happen next.

“They are obviously serious problems and he is taking that seriously like us,” said Goodell.
“But also, there is a process for that, as you say, both civilly and potentially criminal,” Goodell added. 'Obviously we also have NFL investigations for that. Obviously we look at that where we do not want to interfere with the criminal side of that.
The initial accusations, according to the Baltimore banner, were made by therapists who worked in Tucker between 2012 and 2016 in four different high -end spas and well -being centers.
It is said that two of the spas have expelled him from their facilities. Other therapists affirmed that Tucker's behavior forced them to shorten the sessions, while some refused to work with him again.
Five of the six women who detailed their experiences to Banner said that the NFL star had asked them to massage the pelvic area or internal thighs while having an erection.
They alleged that they would maneuver their pelvis in a way that will make the sheets fall, either partially or complete exposing their genitals.
Two of the therapists, who have wished to remain anonymity for the fear of the reprisals of the organization or fans of the Ravens, claimed that Tucker went so far as to brush them with their exposed penis.
On other occasions, three of the women affirmed when they returned to the treatment room after their work in Tucker, discovered “a great humid point at the massage table”, who believed they were ejaculated.
The alleged incidents began in 2012, the year of Tucker's rookie season with the Ravens

Three new massage therapists later presented themselves with one who affirmed the banner that Tucker stroked her internal thigh during her session and left what she states that she was ejaculated at her table later.
The woman, who used to work in the high -end spa, the QG in the center of Baltimore, also provided what she claimed to be an internal memorandum of her experiences with the winner of the 2015 Super Bowl.
He explained how Tucker 'turned into a point into previous sessions to expose his erect genitals to me by deactivating the curtains, regardless of how many times I have to redrap it and tell him that he is ruining the curtains.'
The NFL applies a strict personal behavior policy that prohibits the behavior that 'undermines or puts the integrity of the NFL' at risk.
The accusations have some similarities with unrelated and even more severe accusations against another NFL player, Field Marshal Deshaun Watson.
More than two dozen women accused Watson of sexual assault and harassment during massage therapy sessions while playing for Houston.
After being changed to the Cleveland Browns, Watson lost the first 11 games of the 2022 season after an independent referee determined that he had violated the personal behavior policy of the League.

Tucker has just finished his 13th season at the NFL, all with the Ravens.
He has achieved stardom both in the entire league and among Baltimore fans in a way that is rare for a kicker, and his 66 -yard field goal in 2021 remains the longest kick in the history of the league.
In 2022, Tucker agreed a four -year contract extension during season 2027. That agreement included $ 17.5 million guaranteed.
“We are aware of the Baltimore Banner's story regarding Justin Tucker and his response,” said a Ravens spokesman earlier this week. “We take any accusation of this nature seriously and we will continue to monitor the situation.”
