On August 26, Ohio teenagers who had successfully turned their lives around had the chance to have their criminal records sealed at an event being held in Akron.
"When people have been rehabilitated, I think they’ve earned the reward of having their record sealed," said Summit County Juvenile Court Judge Linda Tucci Teodosio. [Source: WKYC-TV]
Violent and sexual crimes were excluded from this event, as those records cannot be sealed. Operation Fresh Start was modeled after a program for adults that invites people with arrest warrants to surrender peacefully.
