Carlos Coy (born October 5, 1970), known professionally as SPM (an initialism for South Park Mexican), is an American rapper and convicted sex offender.
One year later, in 1995, he and his older brother co-founded independent music label, Dope House Records, and released his debut studio album, Hillwood, that March.
On May 18, 2002, Coy was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child, sentenced to 45 years in prison and ordered to pay a $10,000 fine.
[citation needed] At the age of 10, he was arrested for arson after he accidentally burned down the living room of the house of his friend's parents as result of him smoking a cigarette mixed with marijuana.
He attended Milby High School until he was expelled in 1987 while in the ninth grade following a physical altercation with a female student which provoked him to assault her.
Coy later obtained a GED and enrolled in San Jacinto Junior College for a business associate degree, but failed his classes.
He did not have enough money to pay off his student loans and dropped out of San Jacinto, returning to Houston's South Park neighborhood.
[4] In a 1999 interview with the Houston Press, he reminisced on being expelled from Milby, saying "One more year in high school, and I would have went to jail for fucking [underage] bitches.
"[5] His older brother helped him find a legitimate job, working at a chemical plant for minimum wage, but after experiencing skin problems, including rash development, he was fired.
"[8] His Universal releases did not gain much mainstream attention; Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic suggested, "Coy's hardcore rapping proved to be too harsh for the masses".
His 2002 album, Reveille Park, a compilation of freestyles, was released by Dope House shortly before Coy's trial for sexual assault began.
On September 25, 2001, Houston police arrested Coy on a charge of aggravated sexual assault of a female child who, at the time, was nine years old.
[5] After hearing her crying in the bathroom, Coy angrily threatened the victim to either remain silent on the incident or he would repeat the abuse.
[citation needed] Driving her back to her mother's house, Coy also complimented her dancing abilities and coerced her to lie to her parents, claiming that her stomach was hurting.
[5] On May 18, 2002, following a ten-day trial, the Harris County Courthouse jury found Coy guilty of aggravated sexual assault of a child.
[21][22] There had been persistent messages from online posters calling for his release, but also mixed reception, due to Coy's criminal behavior.
[27] In July 2000, Houston police officers appeared at the headquarters of Dope House Records with court orders for Coy, involving a lawsuit filed by a 20-year-old female who claimed that, in 1993, he impregnated her when she was 13.
He was ordered to pay the victim and their son $28,000 in unpaid child support as well as hospital fees for prenatal and birth expenses.
