OPINIONOn May 12, 1997, appellee, Alan J. Hill, pleaded guilty to two counts of gross sexual imposition, in violation of R.C. 2907.05. He was subsequently sentenced by the Lake County Court of Common Pleas to serve a definite term of incarceration of two years on each count to run concurrently. Having plead guilty to a sexually oriented offense, appellee became subject to a sexual predator hearing under Ohio's version of Megan's Law, newly amended R.C. Chapter 2950.

By judgment entry filed July 1, 1997, the trial court, suasponte, dismissed the proceedings for adjudicating appellee as a sexual predator, holding that Ohio's version of Megan's law was unconstitutional as applied to appellee. Appellant appealed, and, pursuant to this court's decision in State v. Williams (Jan. 29, 1999), Lake App. No. 97-L-191, unreported, the trial court's judgment dismissing the sexual predator proceedings is hereby affirmed on alternative grounds. ________________________ JUDGE ROBERT A.
