GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — A high school wrestling coach has resigned after someone sent images of him engaging in inappropriate sexual behavior by himself in his classroom.
School officials said Danny Sinnott resigned as an internal investigation began. The person who sent the images to the district was trying to blackmail the coach, an incident report said.
Channel 2's Tom Jones went to Collins Hill High School, where parents picking up their children did not want to talk about the incident.

The email sent to the school district included a threat to send video of the inappropriate behavior to teachers at the school if Sinnott didn't pay up.
The school system began an investigation. Sinnott resigned before the investigation was complete.
The district did not initiate an investigation to determine who was blackmailing the coach.
