§ 31-39-8-7 — Use of expunged records in civil action
Indiana·Art. 39 JUVENILE LAW: JUVENILE RECORDS·Ch. 8 Expungement of Records Concerning Delinquent Child
If a person whose records are expunged brings
an action that might be defended with the contents of the records, the
defendant is presumed to have a complete defense to the action. For the
plaintiff to recover, the plaintiff must show that the contents of the
expunged records would not exonerate the defendant. The plaintiff may
be required to state under oath whether the plaintiff had records in the
juvenile justice system and whether those records were expunged. If
the plaintiff denies the existence of the records, the defendant may
prove the existence of the records in any manner compatible with the
law of evidence.
