State v. McDonald, Unpublished Decision (2-26-1999)
Opinion of the Court
On September 26, 1997, appellant, Paul D. McDonald, pleaded guilty to three counts of rape, in violation of R.C.
Appellant timely appealed, asserting that Ohio's version of Megan's Law is unconstitutional. Pursuant to this court's decision in State v. Williams (Jan. 29, 1999), Lake App. No. 97-L-191, unreported, R.C. Chapter 2950 as applied to sexual "predators" is unconstitutional and void in its entirety; therefore, the judgment of the trial court is reversed and remanded for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
