Could Offender Ordered To Pay Back Thousands to Credit Union Have Criminal Record Sealed?
State of Ohio v. [T.W.C.], Case No. 2024-0265
Tenth District Court of Appeals (Franklin County)

ISSUES:
- Does the requirement for "final discharge" of a sentence before requesting sealing or expungement of a criminal record require that restitution ordered as a "civil judgment" be paid?
- Does state law require the offender to pay restitution even if the victim doesn't pursue civil collection processes?
