What kinds of criminal convictions cannot be expunged?
Any offense requiring a mandatory prison sentence cannot be expunged. Such crimes include rape, sexual battery, corruption of a minor, sexual imposition, or obscenity or pornography involving a minor. Violent felonies and first-degree misdemeanors or those in which the victim is a child (under 18) likewise are not eligible for expungement. In addition, no drivers license and motor vehicle violations, nor bail forfeitures in traffic cases can be expunged. Since minor misdemeanors, such as possession of less than 100 grams of marijuana or certain disorderly conduct are not considered crimes, they also cannot be expunged.
