New Felony Charge Filed Against Ex-Celina Coach Caleb Elliott as Alleged Victims Reach 39
Three families have sued the district under a new Texas law as federal prosecutors pursue production charges.
Overview
- Celina police added a sexual performance of a child charge, bringing their state case against Elliott to four counts.
- Investigators say they identified 39 alleged victims after reviewing new evidence days after announcing their initial probe had concluded.
- A federal grand jury indicted Elliott on eight counts tied to the production of child pornography, with the FBI leading the case under Project Safe Childhood.
- A third civil lawsuit accuses Celina ISD of gross negligence and a cover-up, allegations the district denies in court filings that also assert immunity.
- Texas Education Agency oversight and a third-party district review continue, and authorities say more witnesses or charges could still emerge as Elliott remains jailed in Collin County.
