What is the difference between record sealing and expunging criminal records in Ohio?

While record sealing generally removes criminal offenses and convictions from a person's public record, including many databases accessed ruing an employment background check for example, expunging a person's record permanently removes the record as if it never existed. Expungement in Ohio is extremely limited to specific classifications of defendants (victims of human trafficking for example), Ohio's record sealing laws have recently expanded to include record sealing for non-violent felony offenses of the third degree.
