Seven more women are accusing Baltimore Ravens player Justin Tucker of sexually inappropriate behavior during massages, less than three weeks after employees at several high-end spas first accused the athlete of inappropriate behavior.

On Sunday, Feb. 16, theBaltimore Bannerreported that the seven additional women were coming forward to accuse Tucker, 35, of inappropriate behavior.

According to theBanner,the incidents allegedly took place from 2012 to 2016, spanning Tucker’s first five seasons in the NFL, including his Super Bowl win in 2012. Two of these Baltimore spas banned Tucker from returning, the outlet reported.

One of the recent accusers told the outlet that Tucker left what she thought was ejaculate on the massage table, and another woman alleged that he made eye contact with her while he was exposed.

Others in the group said that the athlete brushed some ofthe therapists' thighs with his fingers, and one woman claimed Tucker made intense eye contact throughout the massage while exposed. Others alleged he used his erect penis to move the sheet, per theBanner.

Attorneys for Tucker told the outlet that the NFL player denied being kicked out of any spa. They provided a sworn statement from the owner of Baltimore Spa & Salon saying she never received complaints about him or suspected he engaged in misconduct. However, therapists from the spa said they never reported any misconduct for fear of losing their jobs, per the outlet.

“Mr. Tucker has never behaved inappropriately during any massage therapy session, and certainly never in the manner described,” Tucker’s attorneys said in a Jan. 28 letter, per theBanner.

Tucker’s representatives also pointed the outlet to a statement he shared on social media on Jan. 30, after the first round of allegations came to light, in which he denied all of the accusations made against him, calling them “unequivocally false.”

“Throughout my career as a professional athlete, I have always sought to conduct myself with the utmost professionalism,” Tucker said at the time, in a statementshared on X. “I have never before been accused of misconduct of any kind, and I have never been accused of acting inappropriately in front of a massage therapist or during a massage therapy session or during other bodywork.”

Tucker added in part that he has “never received any complaints from a massage therapist,” nor has he ever “been dismissed” from a session.

“In accusing me of misconduct, the article takes innocuous, or ambiguous, interactions and skews them so out of proportion they are no longer recognizable, and it presents vague insinuations as fact. This is desperate tabloid fodder,” he said.

According toESPN, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell addressed the allegations against Tucker during a news conference during Super Bowl week, saying, “They are obviously serious issues, and he is taking that seriously as are we.”

Tucker could be subject to discipline under the NFL’s personal conduct policy, ESPN reported.

The Baltimore Ravens did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
