Man Suspected of Child Molestation and Possessing Child Pornography Released After Making Bail a Second Time

Andrew Jarrod Cunningham,A Eureka man arrested in April on suspicion of child molestation and yesterday, of possessioning child pornography was released on bail from the Humboldt County Correctional Office a little after 6 p.m. last night.

Andrew Jarrod Cunningham, age 39, was arrested on April 24 for molesting at least one minor. His computers were seized at the time. He was released after making bail.

Then yesterday, he was arrested again after Humboldt County Sheriff investigators say they found more than 600 images of child pornography with ten or more of the images involving a child under 10 on those computers.

His bail was set at $500,000 which he posted yesterday evening.

Please remember, the charges against Cunningham have not been proven in a court of law and he should be presumed innocent until proven guilty.

What is going on in this world? Why do we have so many people like this out there? It certainly adds another thick layer of stress to raising children these days.

When I read that he had been given bail again I shook my head so hard I about gave myself whiplash.

Do they seriously think he’s not just going to re-offend?!??

Bail reform is needed NOW, with due consideration given to the glaring need to amend rules governing bail for some offenses — especially serial offenses. In some cases (like this one and a few others I can think of), bail should not be an option.

Bail should be denied to child molesters, or set so high as to be unreachable.

I think our criminal justice system needs many reforms, but child molesters can’t be allowed the freedom to re-offend. I don’t think we have any idea how to change this behavior and until we do, the first priority should be to protect childdren. This is one crime for which I have no pity for the abuser.

This Pos’s mommy Also owns Sizzler in Eureka. So people can only speculate that she posted bail for him the second time, but my guess is of course she did. What makes me sick to my stomach is that this dirtbag got arrested again while he was on payroll for the same thing that he got arrested for in the first place. Does anyone at all know why this man got bail again and is out in the community again??? I have never heard anything so sick in my life. Oh wait… The fact that Marcie Kitchen is still out and about. What is wrong with our justice system in this county???? It’s so sickening

The courts cannot enforce excessive bail (8th Amendment) however they can prescribe no bail when certain elements are met. Flight risk or propensity to repeat the same offense while on bail. This case certainly falls under the latter.

It’s funny you would use the analogy of a predator as a insult while defending a actual predator. As far as boycotting, if it’s ok to boycott businesses that contribute to the NRA why is it not okay to boycott businesses that are using local money to bail out people who are hurting children here?

If he is a predator, no. But calling his mother a predator just because he is? On nothing more? Never.

And yes, there is a difference between boycotting a business or entity that itself holds a disliked position and going after a relative just because they are a relative. What if this relative is a wonderful human and you attack for such poor reasoning? What if she is just as horrified? If his mother, her businesses or others related come out in favor of child molesting, then fine. Otherwise, I thought you at least would be more rational. Even if you are angry.

Sharks after chum is what I am responding to ‘Guest’. What has he done to earn our courtesy?

Shall we ask if hes comfortable at home and enjoying his due process or call him out as a repeat offender that should be in jail regardless of the money he/they have coughed up as a result of his crimes to children.

Your analogy makes it seem that you have some empathy for him, that he is better than chum… Feel free to explain that for us.

I would ask you consider the underage innocent victims first and foremost before you give a rats ass for a repeat sexual offender.

You are mistaken. The response was due to the post on local families getting away with violating the law. That was attacking people who were not involved in any crime. That and the attacks on the arrested’s mother are the mob violence I was addressing.

And indeed, it would make me angry that a criminal gets relief from the penalties of his crime. But again, never would I resort to attacking relatives based on nothing but them being there. That is wrong. Simply wrong, no matter what spin you put on it.

When a person is first arrested and jailed, the bail amount is set by a bail schedule, not by a judge.
After that, the bail amount is open to arguments that it should be increased or decreased. That’s the point a judge decides if the bail amount is appropriate under the circumstances of an individual case. Expect that to happen here.

You make me defend what I rather not. His mother has not even been accused legally of anything. Yet you think it’s ok to attack there too. Demand facts? Ok. Be angry? Ok. But threaten the livelihood of those who are not accused of anthing, like the employees who work there and you make a shambles of the law. What if some idiot decides to get stirred up by the mob and do something awful? That is where mob violence always ends up. Think about your participation in that. Do you want it?

I’m not sticking up for him. You’d read that, if you could see past your anger!

I just pointed out its Humboldt & folks have $, so he could of bailed himself out.

I understand your pissed, frustrated & want justice but you can’t go and make the assumption his ma bailed him out and invoke deformation of character & provoke violence against someone, who happens to be the pervs family.

Here’s some advice. Get a stress ball, punch a tree, show up to his hearings in support of the victims but don’t insinuate and assume his ma has anything to do with it.

Fine, if you don’t want to eat at her establishments but she’s not the one on trial here and there’s no proof but assumptions she bailed him out, which I find ridiculous considering there are plenty of folks with $ buried away to cover their dirty deeds such as these. Who says he didn’t squirrel this $ away sometime ago considering he knew he was up to Know Good!

If mom makes her money at said businesses, then uses it to bail out this pos to potentially commit more horrible crimes, then why not protest and not patronize said establishments? Enough with cries of “mob mentality,” nobody is advocating violence, just withholding of money from his source of income, i.e. mom. Gee, I wonder who will cover the legal expenses and I wonder where she will get said cash? I personally know a relative of the victims and this guy’s mom deserves this heat and a boycott, should have left him in jail. It’s horrible what he did, allegedly (only saying that last part to avoid being edited, I won’t be on this jury because my mind is already made up!).

As a teenager I worked for his mother. She is not a nice person(IMO). I would remind people that chooseing where to spend your money is a patriotic expression of your ideals. Boycotts are an exercise of free speech. To those whom would call it “mob mentality” or “unjust” I would remind them that boycott or buying from a business is the exercise of expressing your support, or condemnation through the power of YOUR dollar.

She owns many subways throughout Humboldt and the eureka Sizzler’s. I will not attend these establishments ever again. I will exercise my dollar in protest

Since he came up with $50,000 for bail, you know he can afford a good attorney. This will extend things out for a year or more, just like Kitchen. In the mean time, he can commit his crimes again. Criminals are not afraid of consequences anymore. Our laws, courts and judges cater to sympathy for criminals because ‘obviously there must have been some childhood trauma why this happened’. For some this might be true, but nobody wants to admit that there are just, plain and simple, bad people in our society; and they will never change. Our prisons are full of criminals who should never be released, yet are being released several times over. Many people don’t want to enlarge existing prisons/jails, or build new ones; so this is the result. Unless you are for more prisons/jails, don’t bitch about repeat criminals like this guy being back out to do it again. That big neon “NO VACANCY” sign keeps blinking brighter and brighter each day.

I generally do not like to show compassion for courts and LE because they are — in general — NOT living up to the higher expectations reserved for those professions, but, in the case of pedophiles who have gone so far as to engage in pederasty, including having the images produced by other pederasts on their computers, is a big difficulty for the courts and law enforcement.

While we are worried out here about the mob mentality, it’s pretty well known that these criminals can be certain of death or grievous bodily injury when incarcerated. They need to be kept separate from general population to keep them alive or uninjured long enough to stand trail. And, certainly, after conviction, even a short sentence might as well be a death sentence.

I’m not defending the alleged perpetrator. I’m just reminding everyone that the authorities run the risk of actually exceeding their own mandates before, during and even after a conviction. So I do have some compassion for their predicament.
