      Collateral Consequences of a Sex Crime in Ohio

      People know that their lives have been dramatically altered as soon as they learn that they are even suspected for an alleged sex crime. A conviction for a sex offense in Ohio can only add to the possible complications to a person’s life.

      Crimes that are sexual in nature are prosecuted more aggressively, and tough penalties are often sought for the alleged offenders in these cases. The state’s efforts to make people pay for allegedly committing these crimes can often mean that a person is still dealing with some consequence of a conviction even after they have served a prison sentence and paid a fine.

      Sex Offender Registration in Ohio

      The Electronic Sex Offender Registration and Notification System (e-SORN) was developed in response to the 1994 passage of Megan’s Law, and all 50 states have a sex offender registration law. Any person convicted of certain sex offense violations may be required to register as a sex offender. Classifications under the Tier system in Ohio are based solely on the specific crime the offender was convicted of. Ohio has three sex offender tier classifications:

      • Tier I Offender — A Tier I offender is subject to the registration and verification requirements annually for a period of 15 years following their initial registration but are not subject to neighborhood or community notification. Tier I offenses include importuning, unlawful sexual conduct with a minor (non-consensual and offender less than 4 years older than victim, no prior conviction), voyeurism, sexual imposition, gross sexual imposition, illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material or performance, child enticement with sexual motivation, pandering obscenity, menacing by stalking with sexual motivation, or unlawful restraint with sexual motivation.
      • Tier II Offender — A TIER II offender is subject to registration and verification requirements every 180 days (six months) for a period of 25 years following their initial registration and are not subject to neighborhood or community notification. Tier II offenses include compelling prostitution, pandering obscenity involving a minor, pandering sexual oriented material involving a minor, illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material or performance, gross sexual imposition victim under 13, child endangering, kidnapping with sexual motivation, kidnapping victim over 18, or abduction with sexual motivation.
      • Tier III Offender — A TIER III Offender is subject to registration and verification requirements every 90 days for life and is subject to the neighbor or community notification provision, which includes all residents within a 1,000 feet radius of where the offender is residing. Tier III offenses include Rape, Sexual Battery, Aggravated Murder with sexual motivation, Murder with sexual motivation, Unlawful Death or termination of pregnancy as a result of committing or attempting to commit a felony with sexual motivation, Kidnapping of minor to engage in sexual activity, Kidnapping of minor, not by parent, or Felonious Assault with sexual motivation.

      Public mailings occur with sex offenders classified as Tier III, and public mailings are sent out in a radius of 1250 feet from the address of the listed offender, unless the offender has a court ordered stay of notification. All offenders have to register anytime they have a change in any of their information, such as their address, employment, education schedule, vehicle(s) or telephone number(s) volunteer work, or internet access information. All registered sex offenders must:

      • report at the scheduled intervals based on their classifications.
      • report any change in address within three days to the Sheriff of the county in which they reside.
      • report to the county Sheriff immediately upon entering the county to attend school.
      • register with the county Sheriff where the offender has been employed in the county for more than 14 days or for a total of 30 days or more in a calendar year, regardless of where the offender resides.
      • report all vehicles registered to them to the county Sheriff.
      • report to the county Sheriff all internet or email addresses to which they have access.
      • report to the county Sheriff any location where they serve as a volunteer.
