GALENA, Mo. — A former Nixa police officer was sentenced on March 20 on two counts of second-degree statutory sodomy and two counts of second-degree statutory rape.
Cody Don Scott entered an Alford plea on March 20, and was sentenced to seven years in prison. The judge is also requiring Scott to complete a 120-day treatment program.
An Alford plea is submitted when a defendant does not want to enter a guilty plea, but admits there is enough evidence to find them guilty if the case were to go to trial.
