JUVENILE — SEX OFFENSE — CLASSIFICATION — DISPOSITION — ABUSE OF DISCRETION: The juvenile court's reclassification of a child adjudicated delinquent for sexual battery as a Tier I sex offender following an end-of-disposition hearing was not an abuse of the juvenile court's discretionary authority where the juvenile court considered the relevant evidence and statutory factors prescribed by R.C. 2152.83(D), 2950.11(K), and 2929.12(C)-(B) and its findings were supported by observations and assessments by mental-health professionals and statements from the victim.
