Former R.C. 2950.09—Out-of-state sex offenders challenging their automatic designation as a sexual predator in Ohio—In making a determination under former R.C. 2950.09(F)(2), a trial court is to examine why the out-of-state offender was required to register for life and whether that reason is substantially similar to a classification as a sexual predator in Ohio under former R.C. Chapter 2950—Former R.C. 2950.09(F) does not allow for a recidivism hearing.
