Fourth District affirms John Hess’ conviction

Stanley announced that on April 7, the Ohio Fourth District Court of Appeals affirmed John Hess’ convictions for Gross Sexual Imposition and Disseminating Matter Harmful to Juveniles. Hess was convicted at trial in September 2019, and the trial court sentenced Hess to 11 years to life in prison. Hess will continue to serve that sentence.
According to a news release from Stanley’s office:
“Hess raised a single assignment of error alleging that his convictions were against the manifest weight of the evidence.
