Seven more massage therapists have accused Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker of inappropriate sexual behavior, bringing the total number of accusers to 16, according to The Baltimore Banner. The Banner reports that all 16 women said the alleged incidents happened between 2012 and 2016 and that two spas banned him from returning. Tucker’s attorneys told the Banner that Tucker has not been banned from any spas. Additionally, the NFL kicker’s attorneys provided the Banner with a sworn declaration from the owner of one of the spas in question, reportedly saying she never received complaints about him. In the declaration, the owner also reportedly said, “Based on my conversations with employees of the spa, my understanding is that Mr. Tucker had an excellent reputation among the massage therapists and other employees with whom he interacted.” The Banner’s original report says the first six accusers did not file lawsuits or contact law enforcement and the latest report does not indicate whether the other 10 have done so. However, the Banner’s newest reporting said that most of the accusers have retained the services of Michael Belsky and Catherine Dickinson of the SBWD Law Firm in Baltimore, who told the outlet that they are “continuing to gather the facts and the chronology of events, in order to see where that leads us.” CNN has reached out to SBWD Law Firm, Tucker’s attorneys and the Ravens for comment. When reached by CNN for comment on the seven new accusations, the NFL said: “The matter remains under review of the Personal Conduct Policy.”

If you scrunch your eyes up just as an offensive line sets for a play, the outlines of the players look like chess pieces being moved around the board by some invisible hand. Some run in the straight lines followed by a rook, some follow the diagonals of a bishop, and others hold off opponents like a pawn.
