Jets LB Jermaine Cunningham Charged With Sharing Explicit Photos

A Jets linebacker faces several criminal charges, including sharing explicit photos.

The Union County prosecutor's office says Jermaine Cunningham was arrested Dec. 29 at a home in Summit. The 26-year-old is charged with criminal mischief, invasion of privacy and unlawful weapons transport.

A prosecutor's office spokesman says Cunningham is accused of violating a law that forbids disclosing photos or videos without the consent of someone "whose intimate parts are exposed" or who is engaged in a sexual act.

The spokesman says a loaded handgun was found in the glove compartment of Cunningham's Audi.

Cunningham was released on his own recognizance. It wasn't immediately known if he had an attorney. The team didn't comment Tuesday on his arrest.

A representative with the NFL told NBC 4 New York the league was looking into Cunningham's arrest.

The fifth-year pro missed last season with a torn Achilles tendon.
