Tom Gellatly - Indicted for Child Porn

A McMillan Magnet Center teacher and an ex-coach have been indicted on child pornography charges by a federal grand jury.

Tom Gellatly, 61, is charged with receiving and distributing child pornography and possessing child pornography, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

The criminal complaint filed Feb. 14 against Gellatly indicated investigators found dozens of images, including video, of what appeared to be prepubescent boys on his home computer.

Until his arrest, Gellatly coached the boys swim team and taught social studies, speech and drama at McMillan. He previously taught at Blessed Sacrament Catholic School.

The Omaha school district is in the process of firing Gellatly.

Craig Crowell, 52, is charged with receipt and distribution of child pornography. Investigators say they found several possibly illegal images on Crowell's computer.

Crowell served as an umpire for the Elkhorn Baseball Association, has coached youth hockey in the Omaha Metropolitan Amateur Hockey Association and has coached in the Bantam House League.
