Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Joshua V. Lehde, Public Defender Fellow, Tennessee District Public Defenders Conference (on appeal) and Travis Jones, District Public Defender, and Milly Worley, Assistant Public Defender (at guilty plea and sentencing hearings), for the appellant, Brian Michael Jarrett.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Ryan Dugan, Assistant Attorney General; Brent Cooper, District Attorney General; and Jonathan W. Davis, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): DYER

The defendant, Brian Michael Jarrett, pleaded guilty to two counts of statutory rape by an authority figure, two counts of incest, and one count of soliciting sexual exploitation of a minor, and the trial court imposed an effective sentence of twenty-eight years’ incarceration in the Tennessee Department of Correction. On appeal, the defendant argues the trial court erred in imposing partial consecutive sentences. After reviewing the record and considering the applicable law, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
