Ex-Bengals player pleads no contest to indecent exposure

OXFORD, Ohio — A former Cincinnati Bengals football player has pleaded no contest to assault and indecent exposure.

The Enquirer reports (http://cin.ci/2sBmoXl ) 26-year-old Jerome Schaffer, of Morgan Township, entered the pleas to the misdemeanours Thursday in a Butler County court.

Authorities say Schaffer was apparently under the influence of drugs when he was arrested in February after he allegedly got into a fight, tried to break into some cars and exposed himself at a church parking lot.

He is to be sentenced next month.

His attorney says he has attended treatment programs and is now doing well.
