Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Ryan Dugan, Assistant Attorney General; Charme P. Allen, District Attorney General; and Franklin Ammons and Heather Good, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): CAMPBELL

The Defendant, Ray Gene Elliott, III, was convicted by a Knox County Criminal Court jury of three counts of rape, three counts of statutory rape by an authority figure, three counts of aggravated sexual battery, one count of attempted aggravated sexual battery, and one count of sexual activity involving a minor, and was sentenced by the trial court to an effective term of thirty years at 100% in the Tennessee Department of Correction. The sole issue the Defendant raises on appeal is whether the evidence is sufficient to sustain his convictions. We affirm the judgments of the trial court.
