The town of Celina is reacting to an emotional public apology from longtime and highly decorated high school football coach Bill Elliott, whose son was arrested for allegedly recording middle school boys undressing in a locker room.

Elliott addressed a packed school board meeting Thursday night, speaking publicly for the first time since his son, Caleb Elliott, was charged with child pornography offenses . The 26-year-old was a teacher and assistant athletic coach at a Celina middle school when he allegedly recorded secret videos of male students .

"I want you to know how sorry I am, and my family is," Elliott said, his voice breaking during the meeting. "I understand your anger. I understand your frustration. I get it — it's horrible."
