OPINION
On March 21, 1994, appellee, Bobby L. Ferguson, pled guilty to two counts of rape, in violation of R.C. 2907.02. He was subsequently sentenced by the Lake County Court of Common Pleas to serve an indefinite term of incarceration of eight to twenty-five years on each count, to run consecutively. Having pleaded guilty to a sexually oriented offense, appellee became subject to a sexual predator hearing under Ohio's version of Megan's Law, newly amended R.C. Chapter 2950.
By judgment entry filed August 25, 1997, the trial court, suasponte, dismissed the proceedings for adjudicating appellee as a sexual predator, holding that Ohio's version of Megan's Law was unconstitutional as applied to appellee. Appellant appealed, and, pursuant to this court's decision in State v. Williams (Jan. 29, 1999), Lake App. No. 97-L-191, unreported, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed. _________________________________ JUDGE WILLIAM M. O'NEILL
