expunge

Emmaus has now decided to expunge Abbé Pierre from the organisation after 17 more women spoke out about having suffered abuse at his hands.

Some students “received a formal warning that will be expunged from the student’s disciplinary record when they graduate.”

“These incredible men are incarcerated firefighters saving our state, homes and communities from fire,” she wrote, adding that the firefighters can expunge their felony records and “go into firefighting” when they get out.

He later pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge and was able to have his record expunged after less than a year of probation.

A legislative change in 2014 allowed men with convictions under the past laws to apply for them to be expunged.
