Mugshot Removal from Search Engines and Website

Projects Summary

Client Overview:

An individual discovered their old mugshot circulating on a public records website and appearing in Google searches, causing embarrassment and difficulty securing housing and employment.

Challenges

• The mugshot was easily found online despite the charges being dropped years ago. It resurfaced repeatedly in search results, creating an outdated and unfair impression.

Key Takeaways

• Outdated mugshots can continue to harm someone’s reputation long after the case is closed.
• Removing images from both a hosting website and search engine index is crucial for privacy and a fresh start.
• Restoring online privacy often leads to improvements in real-world opportunities.

Outcomes

We removed the mugshot from the original website’s public view and ensured it no longer appeared in search engine results. The client was able to move forward without the stigma of an old record hindering their personal or professional life.
