Former UDP Senator Charged with Sexual Assault

A Belizean teacher is facing serious charges tonight. Police have arrested and charged thirty-nine-year-old Macario Coy for sexual assault. The case began earlier this month when a thirty-six-year-old teacher reported that Coy, a former UDP senator, assaulted her on November fourth. Two weeks later, on November twenty-first, Coy turned himself in to Punta Gorda Police, accompanied by his attorney. He was formally charged and taken to court, where bail was set at three thousand dollars. His next court date is January twentieth, 2026. We’ll keep following this case as it develops.
