Perhaps something can be done, but I need to know more. WHAT was on his record? Did it show an arrest? That he was charged by the prosecutor? That he was convicted? I don't understand how he could be unaware of any of those events. Please be specific what shows on the record. How did he find out this was "on his record?" I don't know what YOU mean by "charges", but to lawyers it means an accusation of a crime. What crime? Was there a Penal Code section mentioned? Give us more info here, so I can tell you what might be done to clean up his "record" or if it even needs to.
