Opinion
CASE NO. 97-L-220
February 26, 1999
CHARACTER OF PROCEEDINGS:
Criminal Appeal from the Court of Common Pleas Case No. 93 CR 000629.
JUDGMENT: Affirmed.
CHARLES E. COULSON, LAKE COUNTY PROSECUTOR; VINCENT A. CULOTTA JULIE MITROVICH KING, ASSISTANT PROSECUTORS, (For Plaintiff-Appellant).
PAUL LaPLANTE, LAKE COUNTY PUBLIC DEFENDER; GRAIG E. KLUGE, ASSISTANT PUBLIC DEFENDER, (For Defendant-Appellee).
On April 26, 1994, appellee, Todd E. Greene, pled guilty to three counts of gross sexual imposition, in violation of R.C. 2907.05. He was subsequently sentenced by the Lake County Court of Common Pleas to serve a definite term of incarceration of two years on each count to be served consecutively. Having pleaded guilty to a sexually oriented offense, appellee became subject to a sexual predator hearing under Ohio's version of Megan's Law, newly amended R.C. Chapter 2950.
By judgment entry filed July 31, 1997, the trial court, sua sponte, dismissed the proceedings for adjudicating appellee as a sexual predator, holding that Ohio's version of Megan's Law was unconstitutional as applied to appellee. Appellant appealed, and, pursuant to this court's decision in State v. Williams (Jan. 29, 1999), Lake App. No. 97-L-191, unreported, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
