Celina ISD Invasive Recording Arrest

c

Moore Middle School is the same school where another teacher was arrested earlier this month. Caleb Elliott is accused of secretly recording boys in a locker room.

He was a sixth-grade history teacher, an eighth-grade football coach, and is the son of Bill Elliott, Celina ISD’s athletic director and the head coach of the Celina High School football team.

A lawsuit claims Caleb Elliott had a sexual relationship with a student while working at Celina High School. The district quietly moved him to the middle school in an attempt to cover it up, the suit claims.

Once at the middle school, Caleb Elliott allegedly recorded images of more than 30 boys in the locker room. Police said investigators found images of dozens of students on his phone.

He is now facing charges of invasive recording and was placed on administrative leave "indefinitely."
