OHIO PLAN WOULD ALLOW PEOPLE TO BE DECLARED SEX OFFENDERS WITHOUT
CHARGES OR CONVICTION

TOLEDO BLADE, OH - An Ohio legislative panel yesterday rubber-stamped an
unprecedented process that would allow sex offenders to be publicly
identified and tracked even if they've never been charged with a crime.
No one in attendance voiced opposition to rules submitted by Attorney
General Jim Petro's office to the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review,
consisting of members of the Ohio House and Senate. The committee's
decision not to interfere with the rules puts Ohio in a position to
become the first state to test a "civil registry.". . . A recently
enacted law allows county prosecutors, the state attorney general, or,
as a last resort, alleged victims to ask judges to civilly declare
someone to be a sex offender even when there has been no criminal
verdict or successful lawsuit.

A civilly declared offender could petition the court to have the
person's name removed from the new list after six years if there have
been no new problems and the judge believes the person is unlikely to
abuse again.

The attorney general's office said it continues to hold discussions with
a group representing day care operators about one of the rules
pertaining to what such facilities would do with information they might
receive pertaining to someone on the registry if that person is living
nearby.
