State of Tennessee v. George A. Johnson

The defendant, George A. Johnson, was convicted of rape, a Class B felony, and statutory rape, a Class E felony, and was sentenced as a Range II, multiple offender to twenty years at 100% in the Department of Correction for the rape conviction and four years at 35% for the statutory rape conviction, to be served concurrently. Additionally, both sentences were to be served consecutively to the remainder of a three-year sentence for attempted aggravated sexual battery for which the defendant's probation was revoked as a result of the convictions currently on appeal. On appeal, the defendant raises the following issues: (1) whether the evidence was sufficient to sustain his convictions; and (2) whether the trial court erred in not suppressing his confession, imposing the maximum sentence, and not allowing the defendant to impeach the victim with a prior inconsistent statement. Based on our review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
