Syllabus

Consecutive sentences clearly and convincingly rape sexual battery first-time offender R.C. 2929.14(C)(4). Defendant-appellant challenges the imposition of consecutive sentences on the grounds that the record does not clearly and convincingly support the findings made by the trial court. Defendant argues that because he was a first-time offender and that there is nothing to indicate he would reoffend. The record clearly and convincingly supported the imposition of consecutive sentences because of the seriousness of the defendant's conduct, the trauma of the victim, and the risk the defendant posed in the future.
