South Park Mexican

Carlos Coy (born October 5, 1970), known professionally as SPM (an initialism for South Park Mexican), is an American rapper and convicted sex offender. His stage name was incorporated from his Mexican heritage and the South Park neighborhood in Houston, Texas, where he was raised.

Growing up into a life of crime in the mid-1980s, he later started his rap career in 1994. 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. He is currently serving his sentence at the Ramsey Unit near Rosharon, Texas; his projected release date is April 8, 2047. While incarcerated, he has continued to record music.

Early life Carlos Coy was born on October 5, 1970, in Houston, Texas. His father was a former United States Marine from Falfurrias. Coy's mother dropped out of high school to marry his father; they divorced in 1974.

His mother had worked full-time to support the family and was unable to apply for welfare. Because of this, Coy's older sister, a hairdresser, described herself as his "mother and sister", having to take care of him on most occasions. Coy emotionally felt disturbed by the aftermath of his father's separation from his mother and absence from the family. Taking the divorce of his parents hard, he grew into trouble. 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’ve went to jail for fucking all those little young bitches."

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. Unemployed again, he worked as a door-to-door perfume salesman, but did not receive the money he expected. He continued dealing drugs. In 1992, he was invaded by robbers who held him at gunpoint in exchange for cash, jewelry and drugs. That same year, he lost a close friend to gun violence. He relocated to his mother's trailer home for safety and asked God for a sign.

Career Coy's interest in music resurfaced after watching a television commercial about rap. He initially began his career as a Christian rapper. After performing a verse at a freestyle event, a competitor who performed afterwards rapped that he would "kill [Coy's] mama and put her body in the trunk of his car. Everybody at the party cheered him." This spurred his transition to secular rapping. Its follow-up single, "Wiggy", did not match the same success as "High So High".

In February 2000, he signed Dope House to a distribution deal with Universal Records, a now-absorbed music division of Universal Music Group. It earned him an advance of $500,000 and national distribution. Universal released two of Coy's studio albums, Time is Money (2000), and Never Change (2001). The compilation, The Purity Album (2000), included the single "You Know My Name", which peaked at number thirty-one on the rap chart. San Antonio Express-News writer Ramiro Burr summarized South Park Mexican's lyrical content in a 2001 profile: "SPM delivers raunchy lyrics about growing up in the barrio and living the party life. But he says he also focuses on working hard and having hope for a better life."

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". He was dropped from Universal after his arrest on child sexual abuse charges. His 2002 album, Reveille Park, a compilation of freestyles, was released by Dope House shortly before Coy's trial for sexual assault began. Dope House also released two more albums recorded by Coy while he was incarcerated, When Devils Strike, released in 2006, debuted at No. 46 on the Billboard 200, and The Last Chair Violinist followed two years later in 2008. Following a six-year hiatus, he released The Son of Norma on September 30, 2014.

Criminal and civil matters 2001–02: Child sexual assault cases 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. He was released from county jail after posting bail. The incident occurred on a Labor Day weekend, earlier that month.

Two more charges followed in March 2002 for the sexual assault of two 14-year-old girls in a hotel room in New Caney; Coy was held without bail. Coy's trial began on May 8, 2002, when the mother of the nine-year-old girl testified that her daughter left a sleepover because of abuse.

The next day, the girl, who also claimed to have had insomnia, testified that Coy touched her inappropriately when she was sleeping with her friend, who was Coy's daughter. He then proceeded to perform oral sex on the girl. Coy maintains his innocence in this case, claiming that it was an attempt to extort him for money. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison on May 30 and ordered to pay a $10,000 fine. Coy, whose Texas Department of Criminal Justice number is 01110642, is incarcerated in the Ramsey Unit in Rosharon. His projected release date is April 8, 2047.

There had been persistent messages from online posters calling for his release, but also mixed reception, due to Coy's criminal behavior.

2024: Parole hearing Coy's first parole eligibility hearing began on October 7, 2024. His parole request was later denied on January 13, 2025, his next parole hearing is scheduled for January 2028.

2000–01: Child support lawsuit 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. Their son was born months later. At the time of the lawsuit, their child was 6 years old. The plaintiff later demanded child support payments from him.

After a DNA paternity test, it was confirmed 99.9% positive that Coy was, in fact, the biological father of the victim's son. 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.

Following Coy's arrest on charges of aggravated sexual assault in late 2001, the Harris County District Attorney's office announced that the 1993 incident would be pressed as a criminal charge against him.

2005: Lawsuit from victim In February 2005, the aggravated sexual assault victim, now twelve years old that year, was awarded (on behalf of her parents) $25,000 in damages and liability.
