Sydney Swans star Chad Warner has become the victim of a nude photo release online.

The Herald Sun is reporting that the WA youngster has been targeted by a release of images without his consent of him naked and performing sex acts. The story says the photos aren’t recent and there is no suggestion Warner has done anything wrong.

The Swans have said they are working with the e-safety commissioner to halt the spread of the images.

Warner has enjoyed a break out year in his third season of AFL.

He famously kicked the ball to Lance Franklin for his 1000th goal and has taken his game to a new level in the past month where he’s averaged 27.5 disposals, 5.7 clearances and almost two goals per match.

Warner will again be relied upon to play a big role against Greater Western Sydney on Saturday.

The 21-year-old was drafted to Sydney with the 39th selection in the 2019 AFL draft after impressing for East Fremantle.
