A now-former Celina ISD middle school coach, Caleb Elliott, is under arrest, accused of secretly recording students in the locker room and facing felony child-pornography charges.
Police say investigators found explicit images of students on Elliott’s phone after reports of suspicious behavior from student athletes.
He was initially charged with invasive visual recording, but authorities later upgraded charges to possession or promotion of child pornography, a second-degree felony.
Celina ISD confirmed Elliott is no longer employed and says it’s launching an independent review of hiring and oversight procedures.
His father, Bill Elliott - who is Celina’s athletic director and head football coach - addressed parents in a school board meeting, saying he’s devastated but insists he wants justice while continuing to love his son unconditionally. The investigation is ongoing, and officials are asking anyone with information to contact Celina Police.
