Maine Legislature considers bill to expunge some convictions from public records

Portland Press Herald 2/18/2020

These measures would largely apply to nonviolent and low-level felonies and would exclude any crimes against a child or person over age 65.

QUESTION: IF court records are expunged after the records have been posted on the Internet–is there a way to expunge records from all online sources (e.g., facebook, google).

SHORT ANSWER: NO. Once court records go online, they live forever.
