Details of Tucker reportedly masturbating during a phone call with Tracy, who helped talk with Michigan State about sexual harassment in sports, on April 28th, 2022:
According to her complaint, Tracy sat frozen for several minutes while Tucker made sexual comments about her and masturbated. His violation, she said, reopened 25-year-old wounds from her rape by four men – three Oregon State University football players and a high school recruit.
Tucker does not deny masturbating on the call. He told the investigator that he and Tracy had consensual "phone sex." pic.twitter.com/Dzyg5OTifc

This is certainly not a good look for Tucker, who signed a 10-year, 90-million dollar contract with the Spartans.
