Syllabus

Trial court's decision denying appellant's motion to seal the record of his 2007 conviction for one count of fifth-degree felony importuning was reversed and remanded for further proceedings where trial court did not adhere to the requirements of R.C. 2953.32 by holding a hearing on appellant's motion where it was to make certain factual and legal determinations, nor did the trial court provide any explanation for its decision finding appellant was an appropriate candidate to have his record sealed, but was nevertheless statutorily ineligible to do so, so as to allow the appeals court to conduct a meaningful review of the trial court's decision.
