State v. Botta (1971), 27 Ohio St.2d 196 202-03; Smith v. State (1898), 59 Ohio St. 350, 358. See also State v. Barnes (1981), 68 Ohio St.2d 13 (commission of anal and vaginal rape, both committed within a short time frame, constitutes separate offenses); State v. Campbell (1983), 13 Ohio App.3d 338 (two separate felonious assaults committed within a single time frame are separate offenses); State v. Moralevitz (1980), 70 Ohio App.2d 20 (several acts of gross sexual imposition which occurred consecutively constitute separate offenses). The Committee Comment to R.C. ยง 2941.25(B) is instructive on this point.
We also recognize that a defendant may be convicted of several counts of felonious assault where each act results in a separate physical injury that occurs at a different time and in a different manner. See State v. Campbell (1983), 13 Ohio App.3d 338. Nevertheless, we find that R.C. 2903.11(A)(1) does not mandate that a defendant perform a single act in order to commit the crime of felonious assault by causing a single injury in the form of mental illness.
