This week’s female high school cheerleading coach busted for sending a couple raunchy photos of herself to a male student is Mallory Christ.

Christ, 29, is a math teacher and a cheerleading coach at South Plainfield High School amid the New Jersey’s endless expanse of suburbia.

Police arrested Christ on Monday on a single criminal charge of endangering the welfare of a child, reports WABC.

She allegedly sent the racy photos to the male student — via social media — back in February of this year.

It’s not clear what the pair of images featured exactly. The Middlesex County prosecutor’s office has only said that Christ sent “two inappropriate photos to a male student,” according to NJ Advance Media.

Christ reportedly faces the prospect of up to 10 long years in prison for sending the pics.

Officials at South Plainfield High contacted police when they learned about the existence of the photos.

Christ, an alumna of South Plainfield High, had taught math at the school for two years. Her math students were juniors and seniors.

She was also the coach of the South Plainfield High Lady Tigers competition cheer team. Earlier this year, in March, Christ’s squad won a state championship.

Before taking a job at South Plainfield High, Christ was employed at Sayreville War Memorial High School — about 15 miles down the road.

As of Monday, Christ was being held without bail in a jail facility in North Brunswick, N.J.

Quick-thinking school district officials removed Christ’s South Plainfield High School webpage at some point on Monday.
