Syllabus

EXPUNGEMENT: R.C. 2953.32 identifies the requirements for an applicant seeking to have records of her convictions sealed, but R.C. 2953.36 precludes the sealing of records of certain offenses, including when the victim of the offense was less than sixteen years of age and when the offense was a misdemeanor of the first degree or a felony. While the text of R.C. 2919.23 does not define who is the victim of the proscribed conduct, other provisions of the Revised Code, when read in pari materia, make it clear that a child enticed, taken, kept, or harbored is a victim of an interfering-with-custody offense.
