2 sentences2013Id. {¶42} We agree with the Second District that if the registration requirement itself is remedial, then a tolling provision that further effectuates the remedial purpose of that requirement is also remedial in nature. 2008We answer that question in the negative. {¶ 12} Ten years ago, the Ohio Supreme Court upheld a registration requirement as part of “Meaghan’s Law.” See State v.

State v. Anthony, Unpublished Decision (7-23-2004)
green
2 sentences2005Nevertheless, the First District Court of Appeals later followed the principle enunciated in Boedekker, in State v. Anthony, 2004-Ohio-3894 , and vacated the portion of the sentencing order requiring the defendant in that case to register with the sheriff in his county of residence as a sexually-oriented offender. {¶ 20} Appellant cites Anthony in support of his claim that the registration requirements for sexually-oriented offenders violate the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the United States and Ohio Constitutions. 2005See R.C. 2950.01 (D)(1)(a); R.C. 2950.01 (P); R.C. 2950.01 (Q). {¶ 40} Appellant, following the First Appellate District's holding in State v. Anthony, Hamilton App. No. C-030510, 2004-Ohio-3894 , argues that an offender convicted of a sexually-oriented offense and not adjudicated as a sexual predator or habitual sex offender may not be ordered to register as a sexual offender, because the registration requirement statutes are unconstitutional as applied to sexually-oriented offenders. | 2 | 2005–2005 |
