Columbus Man, 25, Charged With First-Degree Felony Failure to Register

- Advertisement -

The most serious grade of failure-to-register charge on the books in Ohio, a first-degree felony, is what a 25-year-old Columbus man faced at arraignment Wednesday in Franklin County Municipal Court.

Trevor Wilson is charged in case 2026 CR A 015888 with failure to register as a sex offender, according to court records. The case is listed under Franklin County Sheriff’s Office jurisdiction on the arraignment sheet, which gives no further detail about the allegation. The case number is from an older series than the new filings arraigned the same morning, so the original filing date could not be confirmed from the sheet.

Franklin County Sheriff’s Office records show Wilson was arrested on October 27, 2026, and booked into the Franklin County Corrections Center at James A. Karnes (booking 20261027023). Bond had not been set in the case as of his arraignment in courtroom 4D.

Wilson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. The case is expected to go before a Franklin County grand jury, which will decide whether to indict and transfer it to the Court of Common Pleas.
