Answer 8

sorry i dont understand your question but i think he gets a jail timeout from 15 to 25 yrs depending on the degree of that assault whether it was severly high calss or a low class .

Answer 9

if you have been convicted of any offence it will be held on record forever.  if you were charged as a juvenile contrary to popular belief it is still held on record and not wiped as some think.

Answer 10

In the UK, it stays on until the police update their computer system and lose the info!

If you are asking how long it is valid for and how long you have to declare it if asked, it depends on what sentence you receive - see http://www.lawontheweb.co.uk/rehabact.ht... for a breakdown of periods.

Hope that helps.

Forever unless you request an expungement of your record.

Ways that affect an expungement include:

Permanently.  Even if you get your record "expunged", the convictions still show up when the police search your name.
