State of Tennessee v. Jeremy Stephens Parks

The Defendant, Jeremy Stephen Parks, pled guilty to sexual exploitation of a minor, a Class D felony. See T.C.A. § 39-17-1003 (2010). He was sentenced as a Range I, standard offender to four years’ confinement, with six months to be served in the Blount County Jail and the remainder to be served on supervised probation with multiple special conditions. On appeal, he contends that the trial court erred during sentencing by (1) denying judicial diversion, (2) imposing the maximum sentence in the range and ordering confinement, and (3) imposing unreasonable terms of probation. We affirm the conviction and the length of the Defendant’s sentence, but we modify the special conditions of probation.
