A sex crime is typically defined as illegal sexual conduct that is forced on another individual through threats or violence. While the statutes governing sex crimes may differ in each state, the following are generally considered as sex crimes: rape, sexuall assault, sex trafficking, child molestation, and child pornography.

Make sure to read the disclaimer thoroughly before you use the database. While the information is believed to be reliable, the state of Ohio cannot really guarantee its accuracy. Some results may only show the block or neighborhood where the offender lives in rather than the complete address. In others, you may only get the previous address of an offender.

Bail and Bondsman

Bail is collateral set by the court to ensure that an individual charged with a crime will show up for his trial after his temporary release from custody or jail. Should the accused fail to appear on his court date, he will forfeit the money or property used to post bail.

If you are charged with a crime in Erie County, you can contract a local bondsman to post your bail if you lack money or assets to do it yourself. A bondsman will charge you a fee for his services, which in the state of Ohio cannot be more than 10%. The fee cannot be refunded no matter what the result of the case will be, even if the charges end up getting dropped.
