Maxwell S. CoapmanAuburn NY -- A Cayuga County man who was imprisoned for raping a child 20 years ago is heading back to prison for molesting another child.
In Cayuga County Court Thursday, Maxwell S. Coapman, 64, of 528 Turnpike Road, Aurelius, was sentenced to 27 years in prison plus 27 years post-release supervision, Chief Assistant District Attorney Christopher Valdina said.
A jury in March convicted Coapman of raping the victim in the summer of 2008 before and after the child turned 13 years old.
“Repeat child molesters like this defendant are every parent’s worst nightmare….As long as he remains incarcerated he will never be able to hurt another child,’’ Valdina said in a statement.
In 1990, Coapman was sentenced to two and one-third years to seven years for raping an 11 year old. He was released from prison in 1994.
In March, Coapman was convicted of two counts of first-degree criminal sexual act, seven counts of second-degree criminal sexual act, two counts of second-degree rape, eight counts of second-degree sexual abuse and one count of endangering the welfare of a child, according to Valdina.
