snip-"A bill that Ohio Republicans say will protect children from indecent exposure counts among its 42 cosponsors a lawmaker whose own conduct toward a minor was described as “concerning and suspicious” by the prosecutor who reviewed a state investigation into his behavior.

State Rep. Rodney Creech (R-West Alexandria) is a cosponsor of House Bill 249, the Indecent Exposure Modernization Act. The bill, which is scheduled for a fourth hearing before the House Judiciary Committee on March 25 with a possible vote, would update Ohio’s public indecency statutes, tighten penalties for exposure involving minors, and ban what it defines as “adult cabaret performances” in locations where minors may be present.

Creech was accused in 2023 by a minor female relative of climbing into bed with her while erect and wearing only his underwear, according to Bureau of Criminal Investigation documents obtained by the Statehouse News Bureau. Text messages showed the minor complaining that Creech had been rubbing her legs and grabbing her waist, according to NBC4. Creech admitted to investigators he had gotten into bed with the minor in his underwear but denied the sexual nature of the allegations.

Clark County Prosecutor Daniel Driscoll, brought in as a special prosecutor, declined to file charges but wrote that Creech’s “behavior during the time of the investigation was concerning and suspicious,” according to documents reported by the Dayton Daily News. Creech has called the allegations “demonstrably false.”
