SPOKANE — A jury in Spokane has decided that Kevin Coe should be locked up at the Special Commitment Center for sex predators on McNeil Island.
The decision today will keep Coe confined although he has completed a 25-year sentence in the South Hill Rapist case.
In closing arguments Wednesday, Assistant Attorney General Malcolm Ross called Coe a “perfect predator” who should remain locked up indefinitely.
But Coe’s lawyer, Tim Trageser, said there is no evidence Coe committed any of the South Hill rapes except the one for which he was convicted.
The 61-year-old Coe denies committing any sexual offense and says he is not a threat.
