2. “This conclusion is consistent with our decision in [State v.] Bellman [(1999), 86 Ohio St.3d 208 , 714 N.E.2d 381 ] where we stated that `although Bellman is properly adjudicated a sexual predator under the new law, he has no duty to register because he does not fit within the plain language of R.C. 2950.04 describing categories of compulsory registrants.' Id., 86 Ohio St.3d at 212 , 714 N.E.2d 381 . The reasoning behind Bellman applies with equal force in this case: adjudication as a sexual predator is distinct from the duty to register.”
