According to prosecutors, Bozeman engaged in sexual conduct with a female inmate and the inmate then reported the crime to authorities.

Bozeman also will be required to register as a tier-three sex offender.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol conducted the investigation, including forensic biological evidence.

If Bozeman violates any portion of his probation, he could face 45 years in prison.
