Syllabus

The trial court erred in ordering Appellant to register as a Tier I sex offender for a first-degree-misdemeanor charge of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor when the sexual conduct at issue was consensual and Appellant had no prior convictions for sexually oriented offenses. Under these circumstances, Appellant is excluded from having to register as a sex offender because his offense does not qualify as a \sexually oriented offense\ under R.C. 2950.01(A)(2) or (A)(3), and does not warrant a Tier I or Tier II sex offender classification under R.C. 2950.01(E)(1)(b) and R.C. 2950.01(F)(1)(b). Reversed and remanded.
