Ohio Court Rules on Sex Offender Classification

This appears to be a local cop trying to get noticed, not a decision on the pending question in the Ohio Supreme Court. Further, the Ohio Supreme court has not ordered anyone to do anything, they have merely invalidated two laws. Beyond that, nothing has been heard on anything further....
6-21-2010 Ohio:

Ohio Supreme Court has ruled in a decision to require the Ohio Attorney General's Office to contact sex offenders and update them of their classification status.

The Ohio Attorney General's Office has begun to remove individuals from the sex offender registry who no longer have to register as sex offenders as directed by the Ohio Supreme Court.

According to a news release by the Gallia County Sheriff's Office, the Attorney General's Office is responsible for contacting the offenders as they are removed from the registry.

Over the next several weeks, the Attorney General's Office will then contact offenders who remain on the registry that will have new classifications as a result of the Supreme Court's decision.

It is the recommendation of the Gallia County Sheriff's Department that offenders continue reporting until their status has been finally determined. ..Source.. by WOWK Channel 13 News
