1. “[a] sexual predator classification hearing is similar to sentencing or probation hearings where it is well settled that the Rules of Evidence do not strictly apply. A classification hearing does not occur until after the offender has been convicted of the underlying offense. Further, the classification hearing is intended to determine the offender's status, not to determine the guilt or innocence of the offender. Accordingly, we hold that the Ohio Rules of Evidence do not strictly apply to sexual predator classification hearings.”
