State of Tennessee v. Joseph John Turchin

Syllabus

A Monroe County Criminal Court Jury convicted the Appellant, Joseph John Turchin, of two counts of especially aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor, Tenn. Code Ann. § 39- 17-1005, one count of sexual exploitation of a minor, Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-17-1003, and one count of unlawfully photographing a minor in violation of the minor's privacy, Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-13-605.1 The trial court imposed a total effective sentence of twenty years in the Tennessee Department of Correction. On appeal, the Appellant contends that the trial court erred by denying his motion to suppress, arguing that he was not properly served with a warrant for the search of his cellular telephones. Upon review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
