Syllabus

Appellant's plea was knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily entered where the totality of the circumstances indicated appellant understood the nature of the charges and the bill of particulars, which served as the state's recitation of facts, provided a sufficient basis to satisfy the elements of the offenses and to establish venue in Warren County. As enrollment in the violent offender database, R.C. 2903.41 et seq., is a collateral consequence rather than a punishment, Crim.R. 11 does not require a trial court to inform a defendant of the registration and notification requirements before accepting the defendant's guilty plea. Appellant's convictions for aggravated burglary, kidnapping, felonious assault, and retaliation were not allied offenses of similar import. Notice of postrelease control provided at the plea hearing and set forth in the sentencing entry does not correct the trial court's failure to impose postrelease control at the sentencing hearing.
