STATE OF TENNESSEE v. RONNIE KEITH REA

Posted by: David Lazar on Jul 10, 2026

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: James Richard McFall, Counce, Tennessee, for the appellant, Ronnie Keith Rea.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Benjamin A. Ball, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Michael J. Hurst, Qualified Law Student Approved Under Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 7, Sec. 10.03; Matthew F. Stowe, District Attorney General; and K. Michelle Morris, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): AYERS

Defendant, Ronnie Keith Rea, appeals from his convictions for three counts of aggravated sexual battery and one count of solicitation of a minor. On appeal, he raises five issues. After a thorough review of the record, the parties’ briefs, and the applicable law, we conclude that four of the five issues have been waived. The only preserved issue is Defendant’s challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence, which we find legally sufficient to support his convictions. Accordingly, the judgments of the trial court are affirmed.
