Based on court documents filed in Baltimore City District Court, Sanders was accused of groping, pressing up on and kissing a 34-year-old woman following a game in December. He was also accused of trying to force the woman to grab his genitals.
The woman worked at M&T Bank Stadium and was asked to escort Sanders to another part of the building several hours after the Ravens beat the Jaguars on Dec. 14.
“He hit and/or groped her buttocks more than once as they walked down the third level hallway,” the victim told Baltimore police Sgt. Kerry Snead, who outlined the accusations in court documents.
On Wednesday senior vice president of the Baltimore Ravens Kevin Bryne announced Sanders has been placed on paid leave.
Sanders lawyers issued a statement saying their client did nothing wrong. They say he is innocent and is looking forward to his day in court.
“Mr. Sanders has worked his entire career to keep others safe as a police officer and as a detective with the Baltimore City Police Department and currently as the senior security director for the Baltimore Ravens,” the statement said. “He is a man who possesses tremendous integrity, and he has worked to ensure public safety by protecting the health, welfare and security of the community.”
While this case is still under investigation Sanders is scheduled for a hearing on February 9th.
