Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker was accused of inappropriate sexual behavior by six massage therapists in an investigative story by the Baltimore Banner on Thursday.

Tucker released a statement on social media vehemently denying the allegations, and the Ravens said in their own statement that they ¡°take any allegations of this nature seriously and will continue to monitor the situation.¡±

The Banner reporters who published the story said they received a tip Jan. 9 and began investigating the allegations. The six women who spoke to the news organization were kept anonymous out of their fear that the Ravens or their fans would retaliate.
