or a sexually oriented offense that involves the same complainant, the court shall

consider all of the following, in addition to any other circumstances considered by

the court and notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in section 2937.011 of the Revised Code , before setting the amount and conditions of the bail for the person: (1) Whether the person has a history of violence toward the complainant or a history

of other violent acts; (2) The mental health of the person; (3) Whether the person has a history of violating the orders of any court or governmental

entity; (4) Whether the person is potentially a threat to any other person; (5) Whether setting bail at a high level will interfere with any treatment or counseling

that the person is undergoing. (B) Any court that has jurisdiction over violations of section 2903.21 , 2903.211 , 2903.22 , or 2911.211 of the Revised Code , violations of a municipal ordinance that is substantially similar to one of those

other reasonable conditions related to a release on bail or on recognizance if the

history of the alleged offender or the circumstances of the alleged offense meet certain

criteria in the schedule. (C) As used in this section, “sexually oriented offense” has the same meaning as in section 2950.01 of the Revised Code .
