(July 24, 2008)--One of the two Texas teenagers who were caught on video coaxing two young children into smoking marijuana has been sentenced to eight years in prison by a Fort Worth jury.
Demetris McCoy, 18, pleaded guilty to two charges of injury to a child/causing bodily injury and agreed with prosecutors to testify against his co-defendant, Vanswan Polty.
Polty, 19, remains in the Tarrant County Jail awaiting trial.
He faces two charges of injury to a child, three charges of burglary of a habitation and one charge of failing to identify himself to a peace officer.
McCoy is the children's uncle.
Drug tests performed on the children revealed they had marijuana and cocaine in their systems.
The children have since been placed in foster care.
