Zane Wesley Doolen
Age: 23
Niles, MI
Charge:
- Sexual Battery
In Ohio, sexual battery is a felony offense under Ohio Revised Code 2907.03. The severity of the charge depends on the circumstances, the type of sexual activity alleged, the ages of the people involved, and the relationship between them.
What does sexual battery mean in Ohio?
Under Ohio law, sexual battery involves sexual activity when one or more specific circumstances apply, including situations involving:
Coercion: The accused knowingly coerces another person to submit.
Impaired ability: The accused knows the other person’s ability to understand or control their conduct is substantially impaired.
Abuse of a position of authority or trust: Certain circumstances involving a parent, guardian, teacher, coach, medical professional, cleric, or detention-facility employee.
Other circumstances specified by law, including certain situations involving minors.
The exact statutory provision matters because not every allegation involving sexual contact qualifies as sexual battery.
