Blount County, TN – A Blount County man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison after being convicted of raping a child, according to the Blount County District Attorney’s Office.
District Attorney Ryan Desmond announced that the defendant, 45, was convicted on November 14, 2025, following an investigation that began in July 2024 led by the Blount County Sheriff’s Office and Investigator Magahn Mattocks.
According to prosecutors, the case resulted in a conviction that carries a 100% service requirement through the Tennessee Department of Corrections, meaning the defendant will serve the entire 25-year sentence without eligibility for early release.
In addition to the prison term, the defendant must register as a sex offender and remain under supervision for life following his release. Assistant District Attorney Tyler Parks led the prosecution for the state.
Authorities did not release additional details about the victim but confirmed that the case underscores continued efforts to protect children and prosecute offenders in Blount County.
