Ravens’ Justin Tucker Sex Scandal Story Major Error Revealed..
Justin Tucker’s trials and tribulations from sexual misconduct allegations are so polar opposite that the gold standard for facts is discombobulated. In a story about Tucker’s vehement denial of the charges from 16 massage therapists, the Associated Press didn’t give credit to the outlet who broke the story and got the kicker to go on-the-record. Raven Country properly credited Outkick with a link to its story first having the news. The first story about the therapists’ allegations was published by The Baltimore Banner. The AP corrected its original story on Thursday morning, updating with credit to OutKick.

The NFL is investigating the claims. “The allegations are serious,
concerning. The amount of allegations are serious, concerning,” Ravens’ general manager Eric DeCosta said this week at the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. “I think we’re fortunate the league is doing an investigation. We’ll wait as patiently as we can for as much information as we can, and we’ll make a decision based on that.” In his first public response since the allegations began in January, Tucker steadfastly denies any wrongdoing.

Tucker said. “I can assure whoever is reading this that I have never intended to disrespect anyone, cross any boundary, or make anyone feel uncomfortable in any way whatsoever. It devastates me to know that anyone I have worked with would not have felt respected and valued as a professional, but more importantly as a person, and to anyone who has felt otherwise, I am sorry.” Tucker’s wife, Amanda, is also publicly coming out in support of her husband. Said Amanda, “The false allegations against Justin have caused so much hurt to our family. I believe my husband, and I love and support him fully.
