described in division (B) or (C) of section 2949.221 of the Revised Code and the person's participation in any activity described in the particular division,
whenever the records come into the court's possession. (C) If a record containing information described in division (B) or (C) of section 2949.221 of the Revised Code and the person's participation in any activity described in the particular division,
