IC 31-39-8-7 Use of expunged records in civil action
Sec. 7. 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.
