SEX OFFENSES – MEGAN'S LAW – FAILURE TO VERIFY CURRENT ADDRESS: Defendant's conviction for failing to verify his current address under R.C. 2950.06 was not against the manifest weight of the evidence where the evidence showed that he was convicted of rape on March 17, 2006, and sentenced to seven years' incarceration he was released on January 4, 2013 as a sexually oriented offender under Megan's Law he was required to verify his current address annually for ten years he was required to verify his current address on January 7, 2022 when he did not do so, he was sent a notification letter stating that he had to verify his current address by January 19, 2022 and he did not verify his current address by that date. Due process does not require a trial court to conduct a hearing to determine whether a defendant is a sexually oriented offender under Megan's Law, because that classification attaches as a matter of law.
