Can a Juvenile Court delinquency record be sealed?
Sometimes. The Juvenile Court can order the sealing of the files and records on application of the juvenile or on the Court’s own motion. However, two years must have elapsed since the final discharge of the juvenile (i.e., completion of probation) and, since the final discharge, the juvenile has not been convicted of a felony or of a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or adjudicated a delinquent or unruly child and no criminal or delinquency proceeding is pending against the person. Further, the Court must find that the juvenile has been rehabilitated.
