Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Timothy Carter, Whiteville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Christopher Ayotte.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; G. Kirby May, Assistant Attorney General; Glenn R. Funk, District Attorney General; and Jeffrey George, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): DYER

The defendant, Christopher Alan Ayotte, pled guilty to one count of sexual exploitation of a minor with greater than one hundred images, two counts of rape of a child, two counts of aggravated sexual battery, and one count of rape. After a sentencing hearing, the trial court ordered an effective sentence of one hundred and twenty-four years in confinement. On appeal, the defendant contends the trial court erred in sentencing him. Upon review of the record, the parties’ briefs, and the applicable law, we affirm the judgments of the trial court but remand for entry of a corrected judgment form as to Count One of Case No. 2023-B- 1260 reflecting the defendant’s multiple offender status.
