Can a record be sealed considering it was dismissed?

Mark Arneson
Answered by attorney Mark Arneson
Criminal Law lawyer at Arneson & Geffen PLLC
Although the case was dismissed, you would need to go through an expungement to completely seal the record. For instance, say I was charged with theft and I was given a citation to appear in court on that charge. However, the police actually had the wrong person and the prosecutor dismissed the case after I went to court. There would be a record that I was arrested for theft and potential employers could see that. Therefore, I would need to have the arrest record sealed or expunged to the public.

Will they use my juvenile record against me?

Jason William Savela
Answered by attorney Jason William Savela
Criminal Law lawyer at The Savela Law Firm, P.C.
Unless you filed a motion to expunge and had it granted, likely the prosecution will be able to view prior files etc. It may even be evidence in the case against you. A good lawyer can counter-act this or even prevent it from coming in court lets discuss representation.

Colorado. If a 27 yr old cousin wants to date a 17 yr old female cousin, is it illegal? What about just making advances on said cousin?

David B Harrison
Answered by attorney David B Harrison (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Miller & Harrison, LLC
The sexual assault laws relating to this area of law are farily complex and incest may not apply, as also sexual assault on a child. However, any unwanted 'sexual contact' (touching of breasts, buttocks, genitle area, eetc. - over or under the clothes) can be a crime and if reported to the police may lead to charges against the cousin. Charges would also carry a 'protection order' excluding him from being in contact with you and also not being in the same home as you.
