Re: Sexual Assult

Since no Pennsylvania attorney has come forward on your question, I will provide the following necessarily limited response(not knowing what Pennylvania law provides in regards to expungement of criminal records): Since the records of juvenile convictions are normally sealed, the record of this particular conviction should be no different and anyone doing a background check on this particular indivdual (for whatever reason)should not be able to gain access.

Consequently, the record of the criminal conviction under seal should not pose an impediment to the subject person seeking

employment or other objectives which might involve a criminal background check of the applicant.
