Except as provided in this section, the court imposing a sentence for a felony upon an offender who is not required to serve a mandatory prison term may impose any nonresidential sanction or combination of nonresidential sanctions authorized under this section. If the court imposes one or more nonresidential sanctions authorized under this section, the court shall impose as a condition of the sanction that, during the period of the nonresidential sanction, the offender shall abide by the law and shall not leave the state without the permission of the court or the offender's probation officer.

This division does not limit the court in requiring the offender to obtain counseling for any offense or in any circumstance not specified in this division.

(O) If the offense is a violation of section 2907.04 of the Revised Code and the offender was under twenty-one years of age at the time of committing the offense, a requirement that the offender participate in a sex offender treatment program certified by the department of rehabilitation and correction pursuant to section 2950.16 of the Revised Code.
