19A-CR-02460
Criminal. Affirms Nicholas McHenry’s aggregate 24-year sentence for his convictions of two counts of Level 4 felony child molesting.

Finds that McHenry’s sentence is not inappropriate given the nature of his offense and his character, particularly in light of McHenry’s continuing acts of criminal sexual behavior.
