One of the AFL’s brightest young stars has been targeted in a nude photo scandal.
Dozens of images of Sydney Swans young gun Chad Warner began circulating online on Friday, depicting him naked and performing sex acts.
In a statement, a Sydney Swans spokesman said the club was “aware of the images circulating without Chad’s consent”.
“We are working with the e-safety commissioner to stop the further spread of the images.”
The AFL is understood to be aware of the issue.
Sources said the images are not recent, and there is no suggestion of any wrongdoing on Warner’s behalf.
The 21-year-old has been enjoying a breakout season in 2022, averaging 23 disposals and almost a goal a game.
The Western Australian-born midfielder was drafted by the Swans with pick 39 in the 2019 draft.
Sydney is due to take on cross-town rivals GWS on Saturday afternoon as they look to cement a position in the finals.
