I’m not exactly sure what the head of security for the Baltimore Ravens is supposed to be doing during a game but I’m almost positive it doesn’t include sexually assaulting women. Darren Sanders, who has been with the Ravens for 10 years, is being accused of doing just that on December 14th at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore when the Ravens were playing the Browns.
A woman has filed a police report claiming that she works at the stadium and while doing the escort, Sanders “hit and/or groped her buttocks more than once as they walked down the third level hallway.” That wasn’t it, however. Sanders allegedly continued his pervy antics on the 3rd floor lobby where the woman says he pressed his body against her’s and kissed her neck and attempted to force her to grab his penis.
Darren Sanders has since been placed on paid leave and will not be traveling with the Ravens as they face off against the Steelers in Pittsburgh on Saturday.
UPDATE
So here’s some parts to the story TMZ didn’t add. The info below is fromESPN.
The woman worked in security at M&T Bank Stadium and was asked to escort Sanders to his vehicle outside the stadium the same day the Ravens beat the Jaguars on Dec. 14, court and police documents said. Police were called and interviewed the woman several hours after the game ended.
A police incident report said the woman said Sanders made several comments to her while they walked together, that he’d seen here around and she “looked very pretty.” The woman said he then grabbed her breasts and touched her buttocks, the report said.
“He hit and/or groped her buttocks more than once as they walked down the third level hallway,” the woman told Baltimore police Sgt. Kerry Snead, who outlined the accusations in court documents.
The documents said after the grabbing and other advances, the woman told Sanders to get away from her and walked away, then told several co-workers what had happened. A witness also saw part of their interaction, the documents said.
A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press the grievance hearing will be held Jan. 15 and 16. The person spoke to the AP on Wednesday night on condition of anonymity because the dates haven’t been announced.
