State of Tennessee v. Stephanie Lynn Bickford

The defendant, Stephanie Lynn Bickford, pled guilty to statutory rape, a Class E felony, in exchange for a one-year sentence on probation.  The trial court ordered that the defendant was required to register as a sex offender, a decision the defendant now appeals.  On appeal, the defendant also argues that this court should review the trial court’s decision using a de novo with a presumption of correctness standard of review, rather than an abuse of discretion with a presumption of reasonableness standard.  After review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
