Koch was set to plead guilty to misdemeanour disorderly conduct with a joint recommendation of no jail time, just $443 in court costs. However, when the victim (SB) delivered a heartbreaking and detailed statement, everything shifted. She described nearly 10 months of abuse, including being hit, spit on, having items thrown at her, her glasses broken, her phone ripped apart, and even having her head slammed into a window. She shared her ongoing trauma—panic attacks, nightmares, therapy—and the lasting fear she now lives with daily. The judge, clearly shaken by the extent of abuse, noted that none of this had been included in the official criminal complaint. Upon questioning, Koch denied any wrongdoing, claiming he simply drove away while she yelled. This response caused the judge to reject the plea deal and instead set the matter for trial. A one-day trial is scheduled for June 24, with a final date to accept any new plea deal set for May 19. The judge made it clear: he does not believe a simple disorderly conduct charge with just court costs is appropriate given the new testimony.
