Pleading GUILTY is unwise.
Plead NOT guilty, don't discuss any aspect of this case, ask the judge if you qualify for a public defender.
If you're convicted of this particular offense, you MIGHT be required to register as a sexual offender.
That MIGHT NOT be the case in Ohio, but it MIGHT be the case in other states.
A criminal conviction on your record could also prohibit you from pursuing some jobs, and even some certifications and state licenses.
I also suggest you stop looking for LOVE or a HOOK UP in any public place, even on the internet.
That isn't to say don't use internet websites and apps to hook up, but be very careful.
People have been KILLED, RAPED, and/or MAIMED by engaging in indiscreet, anonymous HOOK UPS!
I am NOT judging, I am trying to alert you to certain DANGERS, Will Robinson, DANGEROUS LIAISONS, maybe LESIONS, too!!!
