Syllabus

Criminal law—Juvenile law—R.C. 2152.84(A)(2)(b)—Due process of law—Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution—Article I, Section 16, Ohio Constitution—Fundamental fairness—R.C. 2152.84(A)(2)(b) is fundamentally unfair when applied to persons who were 16 or 17 years old at the time of committing a sexually oriented offense and were classified at the lowest tier for purposes of juvenile-sex-offender registration, because that statute does not afford the juvenile court discretion at the completion-of-disposition hearing to consider whether the offender's tier classification should be continued beyond age 18 or terminated—Judgment affirmed and cause remanded for new completion-of-disposition hearing.
