SUHRHEINRICH, Circuit Judge,
concurring in part, dissenting in part.
I concur in section II.A. and I agree with the majority that a crime committed under the Ohio Rev.Code § 2907.03 does not constitute a “violent felony” under 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(2)(B)® because it does not necessarily involve the use of force or threat of force. However, in my view, sexual battery, even by coercion, without force, always presents a “serious potential risk of physical injury to another.” Id. § 924(e)(2)(B)(ii). Similarly, subsections (2) through (6) of § 2907.03 also run afoul of § 924(e)(B)(ii), because it is the inherent physical act integral to the crime of sexual battery that gives rise to threat of injury, not the state of mind of the victim.
