The security director of the Baltimore Ravens was charged Tuesday night with a sex offense and is due in court in February, according to court records.

Online court records for Baltimore City District Court on Tuesday night showed Darren Sanders was charged with fourth-degree sexual offense, related to an incident that occurred Dec. 14.

The summons issued Tuesday lists Sanders' address as that of the Ravens' team headquarters in Owings Mills, Maryland. The record shows a hearing in the case is scheduled for Feb. 9.

The record did not give more specifics on the charge or other details about the case.

News of the summons was first reported by the Baltimore Sun.

The Ravens did not immediately return several texts and phone calls from The Associated Press.

But Ravens spokesman Kevin Byrne told the Sun in a statement, "We are aware of the situation and have been investigating thoroughly."

Sanders' lawyer, Andrew Alperstein told the Sun the charges were "totally fabricated, made up."

This year, Sanders helped lead the Ravens' investigation into the Ray Rice domestic violence case.
