State of Tennessee v. J.P. Burrow, Jr.

Syllabus

The Defendant, J.P. Burrow, Jr., appeals his convictions for two counts of rape of a child,two counts of aggravated sexual battery, and one count of sexual battery by an authorityfigure. Specifically, the Defendant contends that the evidence was insufficient to supporthis convictions because the proof consisted solely of the victims' testimony with \no othercorroborating evidence.\ Additionally, as to his conviction for sexual battery by anauthority figure, he argues that the evidence failed to show that he qualified as an authorityfigure, pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated section 39-13-527, at the time the offensetook place. After review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.

Judges: Judge Kyle A. Hixson
