The Baltimore Ravens ' top security guy has been charged with a sex offense that allegedly occurred December 14 , online court records reveal . The senior security director for the NFL team , Darren Sanders , was charged with a fourth-degree sex offense which is `` not considered a sexually violent offense but sexual contact without consent of victim , '' according to the Maryland Attorney General 's office definition . The record did not go into details about the charges but the address listed for the defendant is that of the team 's headquarters in Owings Mills , Maryland . CNN was unable to reach Sanders ' lawyer . But the lawyer , Andrew Alperstein , told the Baltimore Sun the charges were `` totally fabricated . '' Earlier this year , Sanders was mired in the infamous Ray Rice elevator beating scandal in which the football player was investigated for hitting his then-fiancée in an elevator of a New Jersey casino . Sanders played a role in explaining how he , on the team 's behalf , requested the casino 's video footage of Janay Palmer being beaten in the elevator . He said the casino officer would only describe the video to him , and he relayed the information to Ravens executives . Sanders was publicly scrutinized for his lack of investigative effort when the media outlet , TMZ , obtained and released the video footage . Sanders ' court date is scheduled for February 9 in Maryland .
