You have the right for certain actions to be forgotten.

LebTown believes that people have a right for certain actions to be forgotten.

Because the Internet may store or “cache” what we publish indefinitely, we place a high standard on the publication of names.

In cases where a name has been published, we will remove the name from published content if the identified person is able to demonstrate that an expungement or sealing was granted. You may contact MidPenn Legal Services or the Public Defender of Lebanon County for legal guidance in this process.

As a matter of policy, we publish all releases from local police but redact names of summary offenses and accident reports before posting. The redaction of a name in a release does not preclude us from identifying the person at a later date, and ensures that we can make these releases available to the public in the fastest way possible while also abiding by the principles described above.
