A women's soccer coach at a Connecticut high school sent a 10-second Snapchat masturbation video to some of his players, state troopers told the Hartford Courant. The man says the jerk-off vid was intended for his girlfriend, but he inadvertently sent it to the high schoolers instead.

Jeffrey Sirois has been fired from his job—a non-teaching position—at E.O. Smith High School, and now faces charges of obscenity and disturbing the peace.

Accident or not, hitting send on that video couldn't have gone much worse for Sirois, 57. His players were out for pizza together when one of them received it.

"Once I realized what I was watching I threw my phone down on the table and said, 'guys, you have to look at this,'" she said, according to the police report.

They all looked, and agreed they should report it to the school immediately. The athletic director contacted state police the next day, Oct. 3, and Sirois was arrested.

"I was attempting to send a video of myself in which I was masturbating. I was making the video to send to my girlfriend. It is something she and I occasionally do," said Sirois, explaining Snapchat's unique value proposition to state troopers.

But instead of sending it to his girlfriend, per usual, he says he accidentally sent it to his entire soccer team group on Snapchat.

Making matters even more awkward, Sirois's face wasn't in the video, so he had to walk police through his home and show them where he masturbated, so they could match the furniture.

Social media is difficult and nuanced, and we're all still coming to terms with how to use it, but "don't have intimate sexytime on the same app you use to communicate with the teenage girls you coach" seems like a decent rule of thumb going forward.
