Coach Resigns After Lewd Photo Surfaces

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) -- A high school football coach suddenly resigned Wednesday after an explicit photo surfaced online and spread quickly among students.

The Sacramento Unified School District confirmed Thursday that officials accepted the resignation of John F. Kennedy High School football coach Henry Lusk, but offered few details in the matter.

Students said a revealing photo of a man in a compromising position spread like wildfire on Thursday, with much of the student body saying the man strongly resembles the former head coach.

Lusk did not return any phone calls and did not answer his door during repeated attempts to contact him Thursday.

The resignation comes less than a week after Kennedy High's football team made news for a bench-clearing brawl in the final minutes of a game against McClatchy High. The two teams' games this week were canceled as punishment for the fight.

The source of the explicit photo has not been confirmed.
