Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 84 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

2 later decisions quote this exact passage““As we stated above, R.C. Chapter 2907 is designed to protect victims of sexual crimes. Like R.C. 2907.02(A)(3), R.C. 2907.05(A)(3) [now 2907.05(A)(4) ] is a strict liability offense and requires no precise culpable state of mind. All that is required is a showing of the proscribed sexual contact. “Here, the court specifically found arousal to have occurred. Defendant has not made the requisite showing to overcome the trial court’s factual finding. State v. DeHass (1967), 10 Ohio St.2d 230 , 39 O.O.2d 366 , 227 N.E.2d 212 .” Id., 36 Ohio App.3d at 250 , 523 N.E.2d at 325 .”
