State v. Batista (Slip Opinion)
Citations
- 2017 Ohio 8304
Syllabus
Criminal law-R.C. 2903.11(B)(1)-Because R.C. 2903.11(B)(1) regulates conduct, not speech, it does not violate the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, and it is rationally related to the state's legitimate interest in preventing the transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus to sexual partners who may not be aware of the risk and therefore does not violate the Equal Protection Clauses of either the United States or Ohio Constitutions.
