Molestation arrest and incarceration
In 2002 Coy went on trial for performing oral sex on his daughter's nine-year-old friend while she slept at his house one night in September 2001. Claims that Coy had engaged in sexual activities with other underage girls, a total of 7 excluding his accuser, quickly arose after his September 25, 2001 arrest.[5][7]
A Houston jury convicted Coy of aggravated sexual assault of a child on May 18, 2002. Coy was sentenced to 45 years in prison and ordered to pay a $10,000 fine.[1] Carlos Coy is currently incarcerated within the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Despite the nature of his crime, there are still persistent messages from online commenters[5] and graffiti writers[8] calling for his exoneration. In October 2006, Dope House Records released the still-incarcerated South Park Mexican's ninth CD entitled When Devils Strike.[9]
Paternity tests
In July 2001, 20-year-old Jill Odom filed a lawsuit to force Coy to take a paternity test and legally declare him the father of her son, Jordan Dominique Odom.[4][5] Odom, from Pasadena, was 14 years old at the time of the child's birth, and alleged that the then-21 year old Coy was aware that she was in seventh grade.[4][5] This incident would later be used against Coy in his molestation charge of a separate girl.[6] The settlement forced Coy to pay $28,000 for back child support, $2,000 for Odom's prenatal and birth expenses, and $1,500 to a university fund. In addition, Coy had to pay $900 monthly child support, as Odom held primary custody of the child.[4]
