BALTIMORE -- The senior 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. The offense is a misdemeanor and punishable by a maximum $1,000 fine and/or a year in jail.

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

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."

Earlier this year, Sanders became swept up in the controversy over whether the Ravens were able to obtain security camera footage showing Ray Rice punching his then-fiancee, Janay Palmer, in an elevator at a New Jersey casino. Sanders said he had asked Atlantic City, New Jersey, police and the Revel Casino Hotel for surveillance video -- shot from inside the elevator where Rice's punch knocked Palmer unconscious -- but the officer instead described in detail to Sanders what he was seeing.
