Maypearl's former police chief is convicted of molesting 14-year-old girl in his office

WAXAHACHIE — A former Maypearl police chief was convicted of sex assault charges Friday for carrying on a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl he met through work.

The trial for Kevin Coffey, 51, lasted four days and included testimony from the girl, now 16, and a 29-year-old woman who said he made them fall in love with him and molested them when they were younger. Another girl testified that Coffey sexted her and made comments that made her uncomfortable.

All three of Coffey’s accusers were around 14 years old and had troubled backgrounds when they came in contact with him.

Coffey admitted to prosecutors in his testimony that he’s “a pervert” but claimed that he didn’t do anything illegal with the girls.
