I live in Missouri, arrest happened in Kansas.
About 10 or 11 years ago, i was arrested in Kansas, I was 20 years old at the time. For Lewd and Lascivious bevavior (Indecent Exposure). This happened invloving a solo act in my vehicle. Basically, someone saw me and called the cops. I new the cops had been called, and did not run, i waited for the cops to show up. Anyway, i was charged and the prosecutor offered my pre-trial diversion, and if i completed the diversion, which was probation for one year, the charges would be dismissed. I figured this meant that there would be no record. I did not get a lawyer at the time due to extreme embarrassment and i was just out of college.
i completed my probation and the charges were dismissed. about a year ago i looked into them again on the cour website, and saw my record was still in view for the public, but did show dismissed, so i got my record expunged.
I have a hard time mentally dealing with what i did when i was young and dumb. I am now married with two kids, a masters degree and so on. But with all of that goodness in my life, this record weighs me down like an anchor. I have not yet gone for a new job, and have been in my current career and company since the arrest. I am afraid to try to move to any other places for fear of someone finding out my situation. specifically teaching or government jobs.
Given the dismissed case, and the expungment, and there was no conviction. Would the FBI have a copy of this, and would anyone be able to uncover my past mistake.
I feel i have done everything possible to right this one mistake, but yet i am still being punished for it.
Any advice, information or anything would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
