High school coach charged over video seen by kids

MANCHESTER, Conn. (AP) A high school varsity girls soccer coach tells police he intended to send a video to his girlfriend, but mistakenly sent it to the players.

The Journal Inquirer of Manchester reports that Jeffrey M. Sirois at E.O. Smith High School was arrested earlier this month on charges of risk of injury to a child, breach of peace and obscenity.

The arrest warrant says the 57-year-old Sirois of Lebanon intended to send the video to his girlfriend, but accidentally sent it to a Snapchat group of his soccer players who are juveniles.

Five players attending the high school in Storrs said they viewed the video.

Sirois is free on a $100,000 bond and is due back in Vernon Superior Court Oct. 28.

It was not known Thursday morning if he's represented by a lawyer.
