(CNN) — Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta called the multiple sexual misconduct allegations leveled against the team’s kicker Justin Tucker “serious” and “concerning” in a Tuesday news conference.
According to the Baltimore Banner, a total of 16 massage therapists have accused Tucker of inappropriate sexual behavior in alleged incidents between 2012 and 2016. Tucker has vehemently denied the allegations.
Speaking at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis on Tuesday, DeCosta’s comments are the first public statement anyone from the Ravens have made since the allegations were first reported on January 30.
“The amount of allegations are serious and concerning,” DeCosta told reporters. “I think we’re fortunate that the league is doing an investigation. We’ll wait as patiently as we can for as much information as we can. We’ll make our decisions based on that.”
CNN has reached out to the attorneys for both the accusers and Tucker for comment.
In a statement posted on X last month, Tucker said: “I cannot allow false claims to go unchallenged. I cannot be any clearer. These allegations are false and incredibly hurtful to both me and, more importantly, my family.”
When the first allegations were reported in January, the NFL said it took “any allegation seriously” and that it was investigating them. When contacted by CNN after the Banner reported the seven new accusers last week, the NFL said: “The matter remains under review of the Personal Conduct Policy.”
