Ohio Importuning Law
An individual charged with Importuning under Ohio Revised Code 2907.07, faces a very serious charge. Importuning carries with it a draconian punishment as well as an horrible stigma. This has a profound effect upon not only the person charged but also on their family.
Importuning is a felony. It is often a felony of the second degree. However, some forms of importuning may be higher level felonies. The sentencing for a specific importuning is highly dependent upon the facts of the case and only after a complete review by a competent and skilled attorney will you know where you stand in regards to a possible penalty.
Importuning carries with it the possibility of one of three sexual offender tier classifications. This means you could be labeled a Tier I sexual offender, requiring registration for a period of ten years. You could be labeled a Tier II sexual offender requiring registration for the next 25 years. You could also be labeled a Tier III classification that requires registration every 90 days for the rest of your life. This means you report to the local sheriff and tell them where you are residing, where you are working, and who you are living with. You will be prohibited from living near schools and other places that children live.
