Andrew Jarrod Cunningham,A Eureka man arrested in April following an investigation into alleged sexual abuse of a minor is back in custody today with new charges.

Cunningham was booked on fresh charges of possession of more than 600 images of child pornography with 10 or more of those images involving a minor under the age of 12. His bail is set at $500,000.

How exactly do you get out on bail for “continuous sexual abuse of a minor”?

I don’t see any remorse or fear in those eyes, nor tearful redness from realizing reality just hit him in the face and his life is absolutely screwed from here on out. He must know he’ll be relieved of his normal everyday societal duties for the next 5-10 years. Maybe he’s “simple”, I’ve never run across him around town.

Thank you Sheriff, for using our tax money wisely and justly. Keep up the good work and get all these pervs locked up. This is the only true ‘for the children’ crusade I highly approve of, the crusade of securing their safety. I hope there’s a way to track down the pervs who created & distributed the photos. I hope the abusers of those children find God’s wrath through any means necessary.

Not true at all. Especially for men. Nor does it address the people abused as children who are not any of those things.

“Approximately 30% of sexual assault cases are reported to authorities.
9.3% of cases of maltreatment of children in 2012 were classified as sexual abuse.
62,939 cases of child sexual abuse were reported in 2012. ”

https://www.nsopw.gov/(X(1)S(fgwfzhum2qnpl4ddsdfqutuu))/en-US/Education/FactsStatistics?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1

“Women in the nation’s prisons and jails reported higher levels of abuse as children than women in the general population. More than a third of female state prison and jail inmates said that they had been abused as children, as did about 14 percent of male inmates. The report noted that in the general population, estimates of physical or sexual abuse as children ranged from 12 to 17 percent for females and from 5 to 8 percent for males.”

It’s hard to believe I went to high school with him! Hurts my heart to know people grow into monsters! I remember camping next to them when we were kids too. I’m so sorry this happened to such an innocent soul and the trauma she and her family have suffered. Shame on you Andy! And come to think one of my best friends had a crush on you!!🤮YUCKY CACA🤢. I HOPE YOU’RE PRAYING TO GOD COS HE’S THE ONLY HOPE FOR YOUR SOUL. I pray you heal and realize the extent of the damage you have caused others. I pray you seek God brah.
