Shane Russell Coy, Attempted Abusive Sexual Contact, Missouri 2023

A Kansas City, Mo., man has been sentenced to 15 years and eight months in federal prison without parole for attempting to engage in abusive sexual contact with two court employees in the parking garage of the Charles Evans Whittaker United States Courthouse in Kansas City, Mo.

Shane Russell Coy, 23, was sentenced on Thursday, Jan. 19, by U.S. Chief District Judge Eric F. Melgren from the District of Kansas.

Coy pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted abusive sexual contact on Nov. 1, 2023.

On March 7, 2023, Coy unlawfully entered the courthouse underground parking garage and approached Victim 1, who was in the driver’s seat of her vehicle. Coy pulled down his pants and began to masturbate, shouting at Victim 1 to get out of her car.

Coy then began to approach Victim 2, who had walked into the parking garage from the employee internal entryway door. Victim 2 was able to move away from Coy and position herself behind a vehicle.

Coy has a history of similar crimes, including being convicted of assault in 2020 after he sexually harassed and assaulted an attendant at a convenience store. He also exposed himself to a postal worker while she was delivering mail at an apartment complex and chased a woman who was walking her dog.

This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kenneth W. Borgnino. It was investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service and the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department.

Coy was also charged in Jackson County, Mo., with sexual misconduct and assault for a similar incident at another parking garage on Feb. 21, 2023.

He will serve 10 years of supervised release following his incarceration.

The court documents show that Coy exposed himself to two other women at the parking garage and chased one of the victims as she drove through the parking garage shortly before he walked over to the federal courthouse and engaged in the criminal conduct in this federal case.
