Syllabus

The trial court did not err by not merging appellant's convictions as they were not allied offenses. Similarly, it was not an error for the court to accept his guilty plea, as there was partial compliance with Crim.R. 11(C) and appellant could not demonstrate prejudice. However, the trial court did err by classifying appellant as a Tier I sex offender R.C. 2950.01(F)(1)(a) plainly reads that a person who violates R.C. 2907.322 must be classified as a Tier II sex offender. Judgment affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.
