Syllabus

Ineffective assistance of counsel, R.C. 2929.11 and 2929.12, sentence contrary to law. Appellant was not denied effective assistance of counsel because the statute of limitations was tolled until his crimes were discovered. The venue was proper because the offenses appellant pleaded guilty to were part of a course of criminal conduct because the offenses involved victims of the same type, were committed in furtherance of the same purpose or objective, and involved the same or a similar modus operandi. Appellant's sentence was not contrary to law or unsupported by the record because it was not disproportionate to the crimes he committed, and the trial court made the necessary findings according to R.C. 2929.11 and 2929.12.
