• 2025 Ohio 1089

Syllabus

Appellant's conviction for loitering to engage in solicitation was not against the manifest weight of the evidence even though the witnesses presented conflicting testimony. The credibility of the witnesses and the weight to be given to their testimony were matters for the trier of fact to resolve. In addition, the evidence presented, viewed in a light most favorable to the State, was sufficient to demonstrate that appellant acted purposely in engaging another in a conversation to solicit sexual activity for hire while in a public place. Judgment affirmed.
