David McKoy sentenced to 8 yrs. for rape attempt

A thirty-one year old man has been sentenced to the minimum of eight years in prison after being found guilty of attempted rape. The twenty-four year old victim testified in the court of Justice Troadio Gonzalez that David McKoy unsuccessfully tried to engage in sexual intercourse with her at a house party in Belmopan in December of 2003 to which she had been invited by McKoy. Other guests, after growing concerned with the absence of McKoy and the victim, walked in on the attempted rape where they found McKoy with his trousers down and the victim screaming for help with one leg out of her pants. McKoy was defended by Attorney Simeon Sampson, while Tracy Sosa presented the case for the Crown. The verdict was delivered by an eight member jury.
