View Full Version : Repeat Offender?

My question involves criminal records for the state of: Ohio

When I was 17, I committed a 5th degree felony (B&E) - that went into my juvenile record which is sealed (not expunged though).

Now, I have committed another offense (I am 18) which is possession of alcohol and drug abuse (marijuana). When I go to court, will I be considered a repeat offender even though my juvenile record is sealed?

I live in Hamilton County, Ohio.

"Once a record is sealed, in some states, the contents are legally considered never to have occurred and are not acknowledged by the state."

You're fine and won't be considered a repeat offender.
