JASHUN R RILEY, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 5th District Court
Bowie County, Texas
Trial Court No. 24F0719-005
Before Stevens, C.J., van Cleef and Rambin, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice van Cleef
MEMORANDUM OPINION
A Bowie County jury found Jashun R. Riley guilty of three counts of sexual assault of a
child, second-degree felonies, and sentenced him to twenty years’ imprisonment on each count
and assessed a fine of $10,000.00.1 See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.011(a)(2). The trial court
ordered the sentences to run consecutively. Riley appeals his convictions, arguing that he was
denied his right to confront the alleged victim with evidence that contradicted her accusation that
she was sexually assaulted.
Via a single consolidated brief, Riley appeals his convictions on the basis that the trial
court’s exclusion of evidence violated his right to confront the alleged victim.
We addressed Riley’s argument in detail in our opinion addressing his appeal in appellate
cause number 06-25-00171-CR, and we apply the same legal standard and analysis here as we
did in his companion case. Because we conclude that Riley failed to preserve his issue on
appeal, we affirm the trial court’s judgment.
