Syllabus

INDICTMENT — SENTENCING: The trial court did not commit plain error by convicting defendant of rape when the indictment contained an imprecise date of the offense: where the precise date is not an essential element of the crime and where the victim testified to the timeframe of the offense and defendant agreed with the victim that the offense occurred during that time, and where defendant did not present any evidence as to how his defense would have been different and changed the outcome of his trial if the indictment had contained the precise date of the offense. Defendant's sentence was contrary to law where the trial court failed to advise defendant of the R.C. 2929.19(B)(2)(c) notifications in conjunction with his non-life felony indefinite prison sentence under the Reagan Tokes Law.
