    Default Caught Shoplifting At Sephora, California

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: California

    I'm 23 years old. I was caught shoplifting yesterday at Sephora. I took more than 100 dollars worth of things. It was my first time doing the act, and getting caught. I don't really have an excuse for myself. I feel so ashamed and sad. This was the biggest mistake I have done. Please believe me. I am a recent college graduate and lately, I have just been feeling so sad and depressed. I am so held down by student loans, both my parents have health problems and with the current economic crisis, I have been unable to obtain a job. When I performed the act, it was almost out of body and for me, I was so numb to it. I don't know why I did it. I understand if many of you feel that I deserved what I got. I believe that as well. However I am here to remedy my action and to keep going in my life.
    I have questions I would like for anyone to answer please:

    1. Since this is my first offense, and with the amount taken, is there still a probability that I will receive a diversion program?

    2. if given a diversion program, will the pending action be on my permanent record?

    3. Will my arrest be on the record?

    4. How long and how much money would it be to receive an expungement?

    Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

    After you are found guilty in court. It will be put on your record. Wether or not an employer will be able to see it. Will depend on how in depth they do a background check. But most likely yes they will be able to see it.

    Some retailers place shoplifters names into a retail database shared with other retailers. so if OP applies for work with a retailer even if granted Diversion its possible it could be seen
