Description
The sole issue presented by this appeal is whether Defendant Billy Joe Harris's 20-year sentence for aggravated sexual battery
violates the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution or Article I, Section 16, of the Tennessee Constitution. We
granted Defendant's application to appeal in order to address whether his sentence is unconstitutionally disproportionate
to his crime. Finding the sentence violates neither the State nor Federal Constitution, we affirm. The eight-year-old victim in this case attended a birthday party for a friend at Defendant's home. After the party, the victim
spent the night, sleeping with two other girls on a sofa-bed. The next morning she awoke to find Defendant fondling her chest
under her nightgown and touching her in the genital area over her shorts. The victim reported the crime to her mother, the
police were notified, and Defendant was arrested.
