State v. Goldson, Unpublished Decision (8-30-2000)
Opinion of the Court
On July 18, 1995, defendant-appellant Curtis L. Goldson entered a plea of guilty to gross sexual imposition upon a child and was sentenced to an indefinite period of incarceration of two and one-half to ten years. The sentence was suspended and Goldson was placed on probation for five years. In November 1998, Goldson was indicted for rape and gross sexual imposition. The victim was a seven-year-old girl. In June 1999, following a hearing, the trial court revoked Goldson's probation and ordered the execution of the original sentence. Goldson now appeals the revocation, raising two assignments of error.
Goldson first contends that the trial court's decision to revoke probation was not supported by sufficient evidence and was against the manifest weight of the evidence.1 This argument fails, as the record reflects that the state produced substantial evidence that Goldson had failed to report to his probation officer, had vacated his last known address without notifying his probation officer of his whereabouts, and had been apprehended in Indiana on the 1998 rape charge. See State v. Hutchinson (1989),
Goldson's second assignment of error, in which he contends that the trial court erred in imposing a term of incarceration without making the findings required by R.C.
Therefore, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
Further, a certified copy of this Judgment Entry shall constitute the mandate, which shall be sent to the trial court under App.R. 27. Costs shall be taxed under App.R. 24.
