State of Tennessee v. Terry Fossett

Case Number
W2012-00885-CCA-R3-CD

The defendant, Terry Fossett, was convicted by a Shelby County Criminal Court jury of rape of a child, a Class A felony, and statutory rape by an authority figure, a Class C felony. He was sentenced to twenty-five years at 100% on the rape of a child conviction and three years as a Range I offender on the statutory rape conviction, to be served concurrently in the Department of Correction. On appeal, he argues that the evidence is insufficient to sustain his convictions and that the State should have obtained a psychological examination of the victim. After review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
