DENVER — A 46-year-old man has been sentenced to 36 years in prison after prosecutors said he brutally beat a woman he was intimate with, leaving her with a collapsed lung, rib fractures and other serious injuries.
Philip Coy was sentenced for the Feb. 19, 2019 incident on Feb. 20 of this year, according to a news release distributed Friday by the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
Coy was arrested after the victim was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. According to the release, he had punched her in the face and head earlier in the day, and strangled her until she lost consciousness.
Late last year, he pleaded guilty to first-degree assault-strangulation, second-degree assault, two counts of attempted sexual assault and two counts of violent crime.
The DA's Office said it is Coy's second felony conviction.
