placement agency is not required to make

reasonable efforts to prevent the removal of a

continued removal of a child from the child's

home, or return a child to the child's home and

that a court find that a child cannot be placed

the admission of evidence pertaining to a victim's

sexual activity in a case of trafficking in

persons in the same manner as the Rape Shield Law

does in a case of rape, to eliminate as an element

of the offense of importuning the offender's

knowledge or reckless disregard of the age of the

person importuned when the person importuned is a

victim of trafficking in persons who is 16 or 17

years of age, to provide that a minor or

developmentally disabled person is a victim of

trafficking in persons if recruited or otherwise

obtained or held to engage in certain specified

sexual, nudity, or obscenity related activities,

to include in the offense of promoting

prostitution certain specified activities that

through electronic means promotes or facilitates

sexual activity for hire, to increase the penalty

for soliciting when the person solicited is a

defendant charged with soliciting or prostitution

after a positive HIV test was being trafficked, to

require offenders convicted of solicitation when

the person solicited is under 18 years of age to

advertisement of massage or massage techniques or

methods unless certain circumstances apply, to

allow a victim of trafficking in persons to be

eligible for intervention in lieu of conviction,

and to declare an emergency.

Sec. 149.435. (A) As used in this section:

122

(1) "Abused child" has the same meaning as in section	123
2151.031 of the Revised Code.	124

patrol, federal law enforcement, a county prosecuting attorney,	129
the office of the United States attorney, or a state or local	130
governmental body that enforces criminal laws and that has	131

(4) "Routine factual report" means a police blotter, arrest	133
log, incident report, or other record of events maintained in	134
paper, electronic, or other form by a law enforcement agency,	135
other than a confidential law enforcement investigatory record.	136

(B)(1) Except as provided in division (C) of this section, a	137
law enforcement agency or employee of a law enforcement agency	138
shall not disclose a name or other information contained in a	139
routine factual report that is highly likely to identify an	140
alleged delinquent child or arrestee who is also an abused child	141
and who is under eighteen years of age at the time the report is	142
created. If the agency or employee does not know whether the	143
alleged delinquent child or arrestee is an abused child, the	144
agency or employee shall attempt to determine whether or not the	145
alleged delinquent child or arrestee is an abused child and shall	146
not disclose the name or other information before making the	147
determination.	148

(2) No person to whom information described in division	149
(B)(1) of this section is disclosed, and no employer of that	150

employee's defense of a civil or administrative action arising out	163
of the employee's involvement in the case that gave rise to the	164
civil or administrative action;	165

(4) An employee of the attorney general's office responsible	166
for administering awards of reparations under section 2743.191 of	167
the Revised Code;	168

(5) Any other person pursuant to a court order.

169

Sec. 2151.414. (A)(1) Upon the filing of a motion pursuant	170
to section 2151.413 of the Revised Code for permanent custody of a	171
child, the court shall schedule a hearing and give notice of the	172
filing of the motion and of the hearing, in accordance with	173
section 2151.29 of the Revised Code, to all parties to the action	174
and to the child's guardian ad litem. The notice also shall	175
contain a full explanation that the granting of permanent custody	176
permanently divests the parents of their parental rights, a full	177
explanation of their right to be represented by counsel and to	178
have counsel appointed pursuant to Chapter 120. of the Revised	179
Code if they are indigent, and the name and telephone number of	180
the court employee designated by the court pursuant to section	181
2151.314 of the Revised Code to arrange for the prompt appointment	182
of counsel for indigent persons.	183

The court shall conduct a hearing in accordance with section	184
2151.35 of the Revised Code to determine if it is in the best	185
interest of the child to permanently terminate parental rights and	186
grant permanent custody to the agency that filed the motion. The	187
adjudication that the child is an abused, neglected, or dependent	188
child and any dispositional order that has been issued in the case	189
under section 2151.353 of the Revised Code pursuant to the	190
adjudication shall not be readjudicated at the hearing and shall	191
not be affected by a denial of the motion for permanent custody.	192

(2) The court shall hold the hearing scheduled pursuant to	193
division (A)(1) of this section not later than one hundred twenty	194
days after the agency files the motion for permanent custody,	195
except that, for good cause shown, the court may continue the	196
hearing for a reasonable period of time beyond the	197
one-hundred-twenty-day deadline. The court shall issue an order	198
that grants, denies, or otherwise disposes of the motion for	199
permanent custody, and journalize the order, not later than two	200
hundred days after the agency files the motion.	201

If a motion is made under division (D)(2) of section 2151.413	202
of the Revised Code and no dispositional hearing has been held in	203
the case, the court may hear the motion in the dispositional	204
hearing required by division (B) of section 2151.35 of the Revised	205
Code. If the court issues an order pursuant to section 2151.353 of	206
the Revised Code granting permanent custody of the child to the	207
agency, the court shall immediately dismiss the motion made under	208
division (D)(2) of section 2151.413 of the Revised Code.	209

The failure of the court to comply with the time periods set	210
forth in division (A)(2) of this section does not affect the	211
authority of the court to issue any order under this chapter and	212
does not provide any basis for attacking the jurisdiction of the	213
court or the validity of any order of the court.	214

(B)(1) Except as provided in division (B)(2) of this section,	215
the court may grant permanent custody of a child to a movant if	216
the court determines at the hearing held pursuant to division (A)	217
of this section, by clear and convincing evidence, that it is in	218
the best interest of the child to grant permanent custody of the	219
child to the agency that filed the motion for permanent custody	220
and that any of the following apply:	221

(a) The child is not abandoned or orphaned, has not been in	222
the temporary custody of one or more public children services	223
agencies or private child placing agencies for twelve or more	224
months of a consecutive twenty-two-month period, or has not been	225
in the temporary custody of one or more public children services	226
agencies or private child placing agencies for twelve or more	227
months of a consecutive twenty-two-month period if, as described	228
in division (D)(1) of section 2151.413 of the Revised Code, the	229
child was previously in the temporary custody of an equivalent	230
agency in another state, and the child cannot be placed with	231
either of the child's parents within a reasonable time or should	232
not be placed with the child's parents.	233

(b) The child is abandoned.

234

(c) The child is orphaned, and there are no relatives of the	235
child who are able to take permanent custody.	236

(d) The child has been in the temporary custody of one or	237
more public children services agencies or private child placing	238
agencies for twelve or more months of a consecutive	239
twenty-two-month period, or the child has been in the temporary	240
custody of one or more public children services agencies or	241
private child placing agencies for twelve or more months of a	242
consecutive twenty-two-month period and, as described in division	243
(D)(1) of section 2151.413 of the Revised Code, the child was	244
previously in the temporary custody of an equivalent agency in	245
another state.	246

For the purposes of division (B)(1) of this section, a child	247
shall be considered to have entered the temporary custody of an	248
agency on the earlier of the date the child is adjudicated	249
pursuant to section 2151.28 of the Revised Code or the date that	250
is sixty days after the removal of the child from home.	251

(2) With respect to a motion made pursuant to division (D)(2)	252
of section 2151.413 of the Revised Code, the court shall grant	253
permanent custody of the child to the movant if the court	254
determines in accordance with division (E) of this section that	255
the child cannot be placed with one of the child's parents within	256
a reasonable time or should not be placed with either parent and	257
determines in accordance with division (D) of this section that	258
permanent custody is in the child's best interest.	259

(C) In making the determinations required by this section or	260
division (A)(4) of section 2151.353 of the Revised Code, a court	261
shall not consider the effect the granting of permanent custody to	262
the agency would have upon any parent of the child. A written	263
report of the guardian ad litem of the child shall be submitted to	264
the court prior to or at the time of the hearing held pursuant to	265
division (A) of this section or section 2151.35 of the Revised	266
Code but shall not be submitted under oath.	267

If the court grants permanent custody of a child to a movant	268
under this division, the court, upon the request of any party,	269
shall file a written opinion setting forth its findings of fact	270
and conclusions of law in relation to the proceeding. The court	271
shall not deny an agency's motion for permanent custody solely	272
because the agency failed to implement any particular aspect of	273
the child's case plan.	274

(D)(1) In determining the best interest of a child at a	275
hearing held pursuant to division (A) of this section or for the	276
purposes of division (A)(4) or (5) of section 2151.353 or division	277
(C) of section 2151.415 of the Revised Code, the court shall	278
consider all relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the	279
following:	280

(a) The interaction and interrelationship of the child with	281
the child's parents, siblings, relatives, foster caregivers and	282
out-of-home providers, and any other person who may significantly	283
affect the child;	284

(b) The wishes of the child, as expressed directly by the	285
child or through the child's guardian ad litem, with due regard	286
for the maturity of the child;	287

(c) The custodial history of the child, including whether the	288
child has been in the temporary custody of one or more public	289
children services agencies or private child placing agencies for	290
twelve or more months of a consecutive twenty-two-month period, or	291
the child has been in the temporary custody of one or more public	292
children services agencies or private child placing agencies for	293
twelve or more months of a consecutive twenty-two-month period	294
and, as described in division (D)(1) of section 2151.413 of the	295
Revised Code, the child was previously in the temporary custody of	296
an equivalent agency in another state;	297

(d) The child's need for a legally secure permanent placement	298
and whether that type of placement can be achieved without a grant	299
of permanent custody to the agency;	300

(e) Whether any of the factors in divisions (E)(7) to (11) of	301
this section apply in relation to the parents and child.	302

For the purposes of division (D)(1) of this section, a child	303
shall be considered to have entered the temporary custody of an	304
agency on the earlier of the date the child is adjudicated	305
pursuant to section 2151.28 of the Revised Code or the date that	306
is sixty days after the removal of the child from home.	307

(2) If all of the following apply, permanent custody is in	308
the best interest of the child, and the court shall commit the	309
child to the permanent custody of a public children services	310
agency or private child placing agency:	311

(a) The court determines by clear and convincing evidence	312
that one or more of the factors in division (E) of this section	313
exist and the child cannot be placed with one of the child's	314
parents within a reasonable time or should not be placed with	315
either parent.	316

(b) The child has been in an agency's custody for two years	317
or longer, and no longer qualifies for temporary custody pursuant	318
to division (D) of section 2151.415 of the Revised Code.	319

(c) The child does not meet the requirements for a planned	320
permanent living arrangement pursuant to division (A)(5) of	321
section 2151.353 of the Revised Code.	322

(d) Prior to the dispositional hearing, no relative or other	323
interested person has filed, or has been identified in, a motion	324
for legal custody of the child.	325

(E) In determining at a hearing held pursuant to division (A)	326
of this section or for the purposes of division (A)(4) of section	327
2151.353 of the Revised Code whether a child cannot be placed with	328
either parent within a reasonable period of time or should not be	329
placed with the parents, the court shall consider all relevant	330
evidence. If the court determines, by clear and convincing	331
evidence, at a hearing held pursuant to division (A) of this	332
section or for the purposes of division (A)(4) of section 2151.353	333
of the Revised Code that one or more of the following exist as to	334
each of the child's parents, the court shall enter a finding that	335
the child cannot be placed with either parent within a reasonable	336
time or should not be placed with either parent:	337

(1) Following the placement of the child outside the child's	338
home and notwithstanding reasonable case planning and diligent	339
efforts by the agency to assist the parents to remedy the problems	340
that initially caused the child to be placed outside the home, the	341
parent has failed continuously and repeatedly to substantially	342
remedy the conditions causing the child to be placed outside the	343
child's home. In determining whether the parents have	344
substantially remedied those conditions, the court shall consider	345
parental utilization of medical, psychiatric, psychological, and	346
other social and rehabilitative services and material resources	347
that were made available to the parents for the purpose of	348
changing parental conduct to allow them to resume and maintain	349
parental duties.	350

(2) Chronic mental illness, chronic emotional illness, mental	351
retardation, physical disability, or chemical dependency of the	352
parent that is so severe that it makes the parent unable to	353
provide an adequate permanent home for the child at the present	354
time and, as anticipated, within one year after the court holds	355
the hearing pursuant to division (A) of this section or for the	356
purposes of division (A)(4) of section 2151.353 of the Revised	357
Code;	358

(3) The parent committed any abuse as described in section	359
2151.031 of the Revised Code against the child, caused the child	360
to suffer any neglect as described in section 2151.03 of the	361
Revised Code, or allowed the child to suffer any neglect as	362
described in section 2151.03 of the Revised Code between the date	363
that the original complaint alleging abuse or neglect was filed	364
and the date of the filing of the motion for permanent custody;	365

(4) The parent has demonstrated a lack of commitment toward	366
the child by failing to regularly support, visit, or communicate	367
with the child when able to do so, or by other actions showing an	368
unwillingness to provide an adequate permanent home for the child;	369

(5) The parent is incarcerated for an offense committed	370
against the child or a sibling of the child;	371

(6) The parent has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to an	372
offense under division (A) or (C) of section 2919.22 or under	373
section 2903.16, 2903.21, 2903.34, 2905.01, 2905.02, 2905.03,	374
2905.04, 2905.05, 2907.07, 2907.08, 2907.09, 2907.12, 2907.21,	375

Revised Code, and the child or a sibling of the child was a victim	379
of the offense, or the parent has been convicted of or pleaded	380
guilty to an offense under section 2903.04 of the Revised Code, a	381
sibling of the child was the victim of the offense, and the parent	382
who committed the offense poses an ongoing danger to the child or	383
a sibling of the child.	384

(7) The parent has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to one	385
of the following:	386

(a) An offense under section 2903.01, 2903.02, or 2903.03 of	387

any other state, or the United States that is substantially	389
equivalent to an offense described in those sections and the	390
victim of the offense was a sibling of the child or the victim was	391
another child who lived in the parent's household at the time of	392
the offense;	393

(8) The parent has repeatedly withheld medical treatment or	424
food from the child when the parent has the means to provide the	425
treatment or food, and, in the case of withheld medical treatment,	426
the parent withheld it for a purpose other than to treat the	427
physical or mental illness or defect of the child by spiritual	428
means through prayer alone in accordance with the tenets of a	429
recognized religious body.	430

(9) The parent has placed the child at substantial risk of	431
harm two or more times due to alcohol or drug abuse and has	432
rejected treatment two or more times or refused to participate in	433
further treatment two or more times after a case plan issued	434
pursuant to section 2151.412 of the Revised Code requiring	435
treatment of the parent was journalized as part of a dispositional	436
order issued with respect to the child or an order was issued by	437
any other court requiring treatment of the parent.	438

(10) The parent has abandoned the child.

439

(11) The parent has had parental rights involuntarily	440
terminated with respect to a sibling of the child pursuant to this	441

under an existing or former law of this state, any other state, or	443
the United States that is substantially equivalent to those	444
sections, and the parent has failed to provide clear and	445
convincing evidence to prove that, notwithstanding the prior	446
termination, the parent can provide a legally secure permanent	447
placement and adequate care for the health, welfare, and safety of	448
the child.	449

(12) The parent is incarcerated at the time of the filing of	450

the child and will not be available to care for the child for at	452
least eighteen months after the filing of the motion for permanent	453

2151.031 of the Revised Code against the child or caused or	463
allowed the child to suffer neglect as described in section	464
2151.03 of the Revised Code, and the court determines that the	465
seriousness, nature, or likelihood of recurrence of the abuse or	466
neglect makes the child's placement with the child's parent a	467
threat to the child's safety.	468

(16) Any other factor the court considers relevant.

469

(F) The parents of a child for whom the court has issued an	470
order granting permanent custody pursuant to this section, upon	471

Sec. 2151.419. (A)(1) Except as provided in division (A)(2)	476
of this section, at any hearing held pursuant to section 2151.28,	477
division (E) of section 2151.31, or section 2151.314, 2151.33, or	478
2151.353 of the Revised Code at which the court removes a child	479
from the child's home or continues the removal of a child from the	480
child's home, the court shall determine whether the public	481
children services agency or private child placing agency that	482
filed the complaint in the case, removed the child from home, has	483
custody of the child, or will be given custody of the child has	484
made reasonable efforts to prevent the removal of the child from	485
the child's home, to eliminate the continued removal of the child	486
from the child's home, or to make it possible for the child to	487
return safely home. The agency shall have the burden of proving	488
that it has made those reasonable efforts. If the agency removed	489
the child from home during an emergency in which the child could	490
not safely remain at home and the agency did not have prior	491
contact with the child, the court is not prohibited, solely	492
because the agency did not make reasonable efforts during the	493
emergency to prevent the removal of the child, from determining	494
that the agency made those reasonable efforts. In determining	495
whether reasonable efforts were made, the child's health and	496
safety shall be paramount.	497

(2) If any of the following apply, the court shall make a	498
determination that the agency is not required to make reasonable	499
efforts to prevent the removal of the child from the child's home,	500

home, and return the child to the child's home:	502

equivalent to an offense described in those sections and the	508
victim of the offense was a sibling of the child or the victim was	509
another child who lived in the parent's household at the time of	510

another child who lived in the parent's household at the time of	517
the offense;	518

other state, or the United States that is substantially equivalent	534
to the offense described in those sections and the victim of the	535
offense is the child, a sibling of the child, or another child who	536

mental illness or defect of the child by spiritual means through	558
prayer alone, in accordance with the tenets of a recognized	559
religious body, the court or agency shall comply with the	560

(c) The parent from whom the child was removed has placed the	562
child at substantial risk of harm two or more times due to alcohol	563
or drug abuse and has rejected treatment two or more times or	564
refused to participate in further treatment two or more times	565
after a case plan issued pursuant to section 2151.412 of the	566

of the Revised Code or under an existing or former law of this	576
state, any other state, or the United States that is substantially	577
equivalent to those sections.	578

(3) At any hearing in which the court determines whether to	579
return a child to the child's home, the court may issue an order	580
that returns the child in situations in which the conditions	581
described in divisions (A)(2)(a) to (e) of this section are	582
present.	583

(B)(1) A court that is required to make a determination as	584
described in division (A)(1) or (2) of this section shall issue	585
written findings of fact setting forth the reasons supporting its	586
determination. If the court makes a written determination under	587
division (A)(1) of this section, it shall briefly describe in the	588
findings of fact the relevant services provided by the agency to	589
the family of the child and why those services did not prevent the	590
removal of the child from the child's home or enable the child to	591
return safely home.	592

(2) If a court issues an order that returns the child to the	593
child's home in situations in which division (A)(2)(a), (b), (c),	594
(d), or (e) of this section applies, the court shall issue written	595
findings of fact setting forth the reasons supporting its	596
determination.	597

(C) If the court makes a determination pursuant to division	598
(A)(2) of this section, the court shall conduct a review hearing	599
pursuant to section 2151.417 of the Revised Code to approve a	600

in committing a violation set forth in division (A)(3)(a) of this	630
section.	631

(B)(1) Except as otherwise provided in division (B)(2) of	632
this section, if the period of limitation provided in division	633
(A)(1) or (3) of this section has expired, prosecution shall be	634
commenced for an offense of which an element is fraud or breach of	635
a fiduciary duty, within one year after discovery of the offense	636
either by an aggrieved person, or by the aggrieved person's legal	637
representative who is not a party to the offense.	638

(2) If the period of limitation provided in division (A)(1)	639
or (3) of this section has expired, prosecution for a violation of	640
section 2913.49 of the Revised Code shall be commenced within five	641

(A)(1) or (3) of this section has expired, prosecution shall be	646
commenced for the following offenses during the following	647

but whose offense is directly related to the misconduct in office	653
of a public servant, at any time while that public servant remains	654
a public servant, or within two years thereafter.	655

(2) As used in this division:

656

(a) An "offense is directly related to the misconduct in	657
office of a public servant" includes, but is not limited to, a	658
violation of section 101.71, 101.91, 121.61 or 2921.13, division	659
(F) or (H) of section 102.03, division (A) of section 2921.02,	660
division (A) or (B) of section 2921.43, or division (F) or (G) of	661
section 3517.13 of the Revised Code, that is directly related to	662
an offense involving misconduct in office of a public servant.	663

(b) "Public servant" has the same meaning as in section	664
2921.01 of the Revised Code.	665

(D) An offense is committed when every element of the offense	666
occurs. In the case of an offense of which an element is a	667
continuing course of conduct, the period of limitation does not	668
begin to run until such course of conduct or the accused's	669
accountability for it terminates, whichever occurs first.	670

(E) A prosecution is commenced on the date an indictment is	671
returned or an information filed, or on the date a lawful arrest	672
without a warrant is made, or on the date a warrant, summons,	673
citation, or other process is issued, whichever occurs first. A	674
prosecution is not commenced by the return of an indictment or the	675
filing of an information unless reasonable diligence is exercised	676
to issue and execute process on the same. A prosecution is not	677
commenced upon issuance of a warrant, summons, citation, or other	678
process, unless reasonable diligence is exercised to execute the	679
same.	680

(F) The period of limitation shall not run during any time	681
when the corpus delicti remains undiscovered.	682

(G) The period of limitation shall not run during any time	683
when the accused purposely avoids prosecution. Proof that the	684
accused departed this state or concealed the accused's identity or	685
whereabouts is prima-facie evidence of the accused's purpose to	686
avoid prosecution.	687

(H) The period of limitation shall not run during any time a	688
prosecution against the accused based on the same conduct is	689
pending in this state, even though the indictment, information, or	690
process that commenced the prosecution is quashed or the	691
proceedings on the indictment, information, or process are set	692
aside or reversed on appeal.	693

(I) The period of limitation for a violation of any provision	694
of Title XXIX of the Revised Code that involves a physical or	695
mental wound, injury, disability, or condition of a nature that	696
reasonably indicates abuse or neglect of a child under eighteen	697
years of age or of a mentally retarded, developmentally disabled,	698
or physically impaired child under twenty-one years of age shall	699
not begin to run until either of the following occurs:	700

(1) The victim of the offense reaches the age of majority.

701

(2) A public children services agency, or a municipal or	702
county peace officer that is not the parent or guardian of the	703
child, in the county in which the child resides or in which the	704
abuse or neglect is occurring or has occurred has been notified	705
that abuse or neglect is known, suspected, or believed to have	706
occurred.	707

(J) As used in this section, "peace officer" has the same	708
meaning as in section 2935.01 of the Revised Code.	709

Sec. 2905.32. (A) No person shall knowingly recruit, lure,	710
entice, isolate, harbor, transport, provide, obtain, or maintain,	711
or knowingly attempt to recruit, lure, entice, isolate, harbor,	712
transport, provide, obtain, or maintain, another person knowing	713
that the person will be subjected to involuntary servitude or be	714
compelled to engage in sexual activity for hire, engage in a	715
performance that is obscene, sexually oriented, or nudity	716
oriented, or be a model or participant in the production of	717
material that is obscene, sexually oriented, or nudity oriented.	718

(B) No person shall knowingly recruit, lure, entice, isolate,	719
harbor, transport, provide, obtain, or maintain, or knowingly	720
attempt to recruit, lure, entice, isolate, harbor, transport,	721
provide, obtain, or maintain, a person who is less than eighteen	722
years of age or is a developmentally disabled person knowing that	723
the person will be subjected to involuntary servitude or for any	724
of the following purposes:	725

(a) To engage in sexual activity for hire;

726

(b) To engage in a performance for hire that is obscene,	727
sexually oriented, or nudity oriented;	728

(c) To be a model or participant for hire in the production	729
of material that is obscene, sexually oriented, or nudity	730
oriented.	731

(C) For a prosecution under division (A) of this section, the	732
element "compelled" does not require that the compulsion be openly	733
displayed or physically exerted. The element "compelled" has been	734
established if the state proves that the victim's will was	735
overcome by force, fear, duress, or intimidation.	736

~~(C)~~(D) In a prosecution under this section, proof that the	737
defendant engaged in sexual activity with any person, or solicited	738
sexual activity with any person, whether or not for hire, without	739
more, does not constitute a violation of this section.	740

~~(D)~~(E) A prosecution for a violation of this section does not	741
preclude a prosecution of a violation of any other section of the	742
Revised Code. One or more acts, a series of acts, or a course of	743
behavior that can be prosecuted under this section or any other	744
section of the Revised Code may be prosecuted under this section,	745
the other section of the Revised Code, or both sections. However,	746
if an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a violation of	747
this section and also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a	748
violation of section 2907.21 of the Revised Code based on the same	749
conduct involving the same victim that was the basis of the	750
violation of this section, or is convicted of or pleads guilty to	751
any other violation of Chapter 2907. of the Revised Code based on	752
the same conduct involving the same victim that was the basis of	753
the violation of this section, the two offenses are allied	754
offenses of similar import under section 2941.25 of the Revised	755
Code.	756

~~(E)~~(F) Evidence of specific instances of the victim's sexual	757
activity, opinion evidence of the victim's sexual activity, and	758
reputation evidence of the victim's sexual activity, shall not be	759
admitted under this section unless it involves evidence of the	760
origin of semen, pregnancy, or disease, or the victim's past	761
sexual activity with the offender, and only to the extent that the	762
court finds that the evidence is material to a fact at issue in	763
the case and that its inflammatory or prejudicial nature does not	764
outweigh its probative value.	765

As used in this division, sexual activity includes both	766
voluntary and involuntary sexual activity.	767

(G) Whoever violates this section is guilty of trafficking in	768
persons, a felony of the first degree. Notwithstanding division	769
(A)(1) of section 2929.14 of the Revised Code, the court shall	770
sentence the offender to a definite prison term of ten, eleven,	771
twelve, thirteen, fourteen, or fifteen years.	772

(H) As used in this section:

773

(1) "Developmentally disabled person" has the same meaning as	774
in section 5123.01 of the Revised Code.	775

(2) "For hire" means done in exchange for anything of value	776
given to or received by any person.	777

Sec. 2907.02. (A)(1) No person shall engage in sexual	778
conduct with another who is not the spouse of the offender or who	779
is the spouse of the offender but is living separate and apart	780
from the offender, when any of the following applies:	781

(a) For the purpose of preventing resistance, the offender	782
substantially impairs the other person's judgment or control by	783
administering any drug, intoxicant, or controlled substance to the	784
other person surreptitiously or by force, threat of force, or	785
deception.	786

(b) The other person is less than thirteen years of age,	787
whether or not the offender knows the age of the other person.	788

(c) The other person's ability to resist or consent is	789
substantially impaired because of a mental or physical condition	790
or because of advanced age, and the offender knows or has	791
reasonable cause to believe that the other person's ability to	792
resist or consent is substantially impaired because of a mental or	793
physical condition or because of advanced age.	794

(2) No person shall engage in sexual conduct with another	795
when the offender purposely compels the other person to submit by	796
force or threat of force.	797

(B) Whoever violates this section is guilty of rape, a felony	798
of the first degree. If the offender under division (A)(1)(a) of	799
this section substantially impairs the other person's judgment or	800
control by administering any controlled substance described in	801
section 3719.41 of the Revised Code to the other person	802
surreptitiously or by force, threat of force, or deception, the	803
prison term imposed upon the offender shall be one of the prison	804
terms prescribed for a felony of the first degree in section	805
2929.14 of the Revised Code that is not less than five years.	806
Except as otherwise provided in this division, notwithstanding	807
sections 2929.11 to 2929.14 of the Revised Code, an offender under	808
division (A)(1)(b) of this section shall be sentenced to a prison	809
term or term of life imprisonment pursuant to section 2971.03 of	810
the Revised Code. If an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty	811
to a violation of division (A)(1)(b) of this section, if the	812
offender was less than sixteen years of age at the time the	813
offender committed the violation of that division, and if the	814

(A) of this section, the court shall enter its determination as to	2432
whether the offender is eligible for intervention in lieu of	2433
conviction and as to whether to grant the offender's request. If	2434
the court finds under division (B) of this section that the	2435
offender is eligible for intervention in lieu of conviction and	2436
grants the offender's request, the court shall accept the	2437
offender's plea of guilty and waiver of the defendant's right to a	2438
speedy trial, the preliminary hearing, the time period within	2439
which the grand jury may consider an indictment against the	2440
offender, and arraignment, unless the hearing, indictment, or	2441
arraignment has already occurred. In addition, the court then may	2442
stay all criminal proceedings and order the offender to comply	2443
with all terms and conditions imposed by the court pursuant to	2444
division (D) of this section. If the court finds that the offender	2445
is not eligible or does not grant the offender's request, the	2446
criminal proceedings against the offender shall proceed as if the	2447
offender's request for intervention in lieu of conviction had not	2448
been made.	2449

(D) If the court grants an offender's request for	2450
intervention in lieu of conviction, the court shall place the	2451
offender under the general control and supervision of the county	2452
probation department, the adult parole authority, or another	2453
appropriate local probation or court services agency, if one	2454
exists, as if the offender was subject to a community control	2455
sanction imposed under section 2929.15, 2929.18, or 2929.25 of the	2456
Revised Code. The court shall establish an intervention plan for	2457
the offender. The terms and conditions of the intervention plan	2458
shall require the offender, for at least one year from the date on	2459
which the court grants the order of intervention in lieu of	2460
conviction, to abstain from the use of illegal drugs and alcohol,	2461
to participate in treatment and recovery support services, and to	2462
submit to regular random testing for drug and alcohol use and may	2463
include any other treatment terms and conditions, or terms and	2464
conditions similar to community control sanctions, which may	2465
include community service or restitution, that are ordered by the	2466
court.	2467

(E) If the court grants an offender's request for	2468
intervention in lieu of conviction and the court finds that the	2469
offender has successfully completed the intervention plan for the	2470
offender, including the requirement that the offender abstain from	2471
using illegal drugs and alcohol for a period of at least one year	2472
from the date on which the court granted the order of intervention	2473
in lieu of conviction, the requirement that the offender	2474
participate in treatment and recovery support services, and all	2475
other terms and conditions ordered by the court, the court shall	2476
dismiss the proceedings against the offender. Successful	2477
completion of the intervention plan and period of abstinence under	2478
this section shall be without adjudication of guilt and is not a	2479
criminal conviction for purposes of any disqualification or	2480
disability imposed by law and upon conviction of a crime, and the	2481
court may order the sealing of records related to the offense in	2482
question in the manner provided in sections 2953.31 to 2953.36 of	2483
the Revised Code.	2484

(F) If the court grants an offender's request for	2485
intervention in lieu of conviction and the offender fails to	2486
comply with any term or condition imposed as part of the	2487
intervention plan for the offender, the supervising authority for	2488
the offender promptly shall advise the court of this failure, and	2489
the court shall hold a hearing to determine whether the offender	2490
failed to comply with any term or condition imposed as part of the	2491
plan. If the court determines that the offender has failed to	2492
comply with any of those terms and conditions, it shall enter a	2493
finding of guilty and shall impose an appropriate sanction under	2494
Chapter 2929. of the Revised Code. If the court sentences the	2495
offender to a prison term, the court, after consulting with the	2496
department of rehabilitation and correction regarding the	2497
availability of services, may order continued court-supervised	2498
activity and treatment of the offender during the prison term and,	2499
upon consideration of reports received from the department	2500
concerning the offender's progress in the program of activity and	2501
treatment, may consider judicial release under section 2929.20 of	2502
the Revised Code.	2503

(G) As used in this section:

2504

(1) "Community control sanction" has the same meaning as in	2505
section 2929.01 of the Revised Code.	2506

(2) "Intervention in lieu of conviction" means any	2507
court-supervised activity that complies with this section.	2508

(3) "Peace officer" has the same meaning as in section	2509
2935.01 of the Revised Code.	2510

(4) "Mental illness" and "psychiatrist" have the same	2511
meanings as in section 5122.01 of the Revised Code.	2512

(5) "Person with intellectual disability" means a person	2513
having significantly subaverage general intellectual functioning	2514
existing concurrently with deficiencies in adaptive behavior,	2515
manifested during the developmental period.	2516

(6) "Psychologist" has the same meaning as in section 4732.01	2517
of the Revised Code.	2518

(H) Whenever the term "mentally retarded person" is used in	2519
any statute, rule, contract, grant, or other document, the	2520
reference shall be deemed to include a "person with intellectual	2521
disability," as defined in this section.	2522

Section 2. That existing sections 109.54, 2151.414, 2151.419,	2523
2901.13, 2905.32, 2907.02, 2907.05, 2907.07, 2907.22, 2907.24,	2524
2907.241, 2907.25, 2929.01, 2937.11, 2950.01, and 2951.041 of the	2525
Revised Code are hereby repealed.	2526

Section 3. Section 2901.13 of the Revised Code is presented	2527
in this act as a composite of the section as amended by both Sub.	2528
H.B. 46 and S.B. 219 of the 127th General Assembly. The General	2529
Assembly, applying the principle stated in division (B) of section	2530
1.52 of the Revised Code that amendments are to be harmonized if	2531
reasonably capable of simultaneous operation, finds that the	2532
composite is the resulting version of the section in effect prior	2533
to the effective date of the section as presented in this act.	2534

Section 4. This act is hereby declared to be an emergency	2535
measure necessary for the immediate preservation of the public	2536
peace, health, and safety. The reason for such necessity is that	2537
minors are particularly vulnerable to becoming victims of the	2538
offenses described in this act. Therefore this act shall go into	2539
immediate effect.	2540
