Texas rapper South Park Mexican (SPM) has been denied parole after serving 23 years of his sentence for the sexual assault of a 9-year-old girl in 2001.
According to My San Antonio, SPM (real name Carlos Coy) got denied in court on Monday (January 13) and will now have to wait until January 2028 to try for parole again. Should he be denied then, he will continue to serve his full sentence until his expected release date of April 8, 2047.
“The record indicates the instant offense has elements of brutality, violence, assaultive behavior, or conscious selection of victim’s vulnerability indicating a conscious disregard of the lives, safety, or property of others, such that the offender poses a continuing threat to public safety,” the denial reasoning reads.
SPM gained prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s with a series of successful albums blending Southern hip-hop and Latin influences. Unsurprisingly, his career quickly ended upon the 2001 conviction – though his music still continues to get plays on streaming services.

In related news, Akon linked up with controversial Russian streamer Vitaly Zdorovetskiy last summer in one of his child predator sting operations that are livestreamed on Kick.
In a surreal clip, Akon and Vitaly go to a public park along with a group of men dressed in tribal costumes and confront a suspected pedophile who was having a picnic with an underage teenage boy.
After accosting and questioning the man, Akon is handed a microphone and begins performing “Locked Up” as the song plays through a speaker.
The Senegal-born rapper subtly tweaks the lyrics to: “You’re about to get locked up / They won’t let you out,” before saying: “You’re literally getting locked up, bro.”

The man was then arrested by police officers as Akon continued to sing.
Earlier that week, The Game was seen in a similar livestream in which he and Vitaly ambushed an alleged pedophile in a toilet.
The Compton rapper threw a cake in the man’s face before stepping to him and saying: “You got a sickness, bro. You need to kill yourself. What’s going on in your mind?”
Later in the nearly five-hour livestream, the “Hate It Or Love It” hitmaker sat down with the suspected pedophile and unexpectedly had a heart-to-heart conversation with him.

“You gotta change your ways. It’s not cool, man. As sick as the whole operation is, some part of me still got a heart,” The Game said. “I feel bad for you, homie. And I shouldn’t feel bad for you. You better than this, bro. I got kids, homie.”

The man later agreed to work with Vitaly and The Game on more sting operations to catch other sex predators.
However, as with the Akon stream, the events of the video have not been factually authenticated.
