Criminal charges aren't automatically "eradicated". In other words, they don't just fall off a criminal history record; this is especially true if the charge turned into a criminal conviction. You need to discuss the options with a criminal law attorney in your area. In some states certain offenses can be"expunged" (i.e. legally erased) from a person's rap sheet. Sometimes just arrests can be expunged, sometimes all convictions as well; sometimes only misdemeranor convictions.
Again, seek experienced legal counsel. There are attorneys who speicalize in this area of the law.
