That's terrible and while it's hard to form a full opinion without even knowing what he was arrested for or if it had anything to do with his position as a kids' coach, I hope that nothing he did caused any serious or lasting harm to anyone else, especially kids under his care.

The gallows-humor-loving part of me also wants to note that this sort of thing worked out OK for Chicago, so Celebrini here we come!

Don't even bring up any child-related stuff unless something official comes out. As a male who works with kids, it is offensive if that's the first thing people think of. There are a million other things that can happen too. As I soap box, watch, this exact scenario play out

edit
Sorry, didn't read the article. The statement makes it sound as though kids were involved in some manner.
