Sex Offender Registry in Ohio

In Ohio, anyone convicted of a sex crime must register as a sex offender. Sex offenders are divided into three tiers, with Tier 1 for lower offenses and Tier 3 reserved for the most severe offenses. Depending on the tier your crime is placed in, you may face different registry requirements, such as how long you must register, how often to register, how visible your personal information may be to the public, etc. To avoid being placed on this invasive registry or to avoid a severe tier classification, it is important that you have a qualified attorney defend your charges.
