Report: An arrested girl's soccer coach at Mansfield's E.O. Smith High School said he meant to send the explicit video to his girlfriend.

Jeffrey Sirios, arrested on an accusation that he sent a sexually explicit video to teenagers at E.O. Smith High School in Mansfield, said he never meant to see the video, and it was meant for his girlfriend, according to an arrest warrant affidavit, the Hartford Courant reported.

Sirios, 57, of Lebanon was arrested after a group of teenagers went to school officials, according to the report.

The video, sent via a Snapchat Web application, went to a group of Snapchat users rather than to just Sirios’ girlfriend. It showed Sirios masturbating, according to the arrest warrant against Sirios, the newspaper reported.
