You paid your dues. You’ve moved on. You’ve done the work. But every time someone Googles your name — it’s like none of that matters. Because there it is: the charge, the article, the record, frozen in time and pinned to your identity.
Even if the charges were dropped. Even if it was years ago. Even if you were found not guilty. Google doesn’t care. It just serves the same old result, over and over again — and people click it like it’s the full story.
At Reputation Station, we help people across Australia suppress outdated or irrelevant criminal charges from search engines so they can finally move forward without being shackled to the past.
Because once it’s online, it doesn’t go away by itself. You’ve got to take control — or let it keep deciding how people see you.
Why does this stuff still show up if the case is closed?
Because Google doesn’t follow your legal outcome. It follows content that’s indexed and clicked.
If an old news article about your charges was published, or your name appeared in court listings, that content could still be live. And if it’s hosted on a reputable domain — like a local news site or legal aggregator — Google ranks it high.
Even if your name was cleared. Even if the record is spent under Australian law. Even if the article was updated or buried by the publisher — it can still show in search, with no context, no follow-up, and no chance for you to explain.
That’s not justice. That’s algorithmic punishment.
And it can cost you jobs, relationships, housing, peace of mind — you name it.
So what can you actually do about it?
The good news? You’re not powerless. In fact, there are several legal and strategic ways to get these old charges suppressed online.
At Reputation Station, we take a personalised approach depending on your situation. Here’s how it usually goes:
We identify every single link that connects your name to the outdated charge. We scan news sites, court records, cache data, Google image results, and even deep search entries that may not be obvious.
From there, we build a removal or suppression strategy. If there’s a legal argument — like a charge being withdrawn, the case being dismissed, or the record being protected by Australia’s spent convictions legislation — we can issue formal takedown requests to publishers and Google itself.
In some cases, we’ve had full articles and listings removed. In others, we’ve successfully had links de-indexed, meaning they won’t show in your search results even if they still technically exist.
And when deletion isn’t possible? We suppress.
We produce and rank content that tells your real story — the person you are after the charge. Not a headline from your worst moment.
This isn’t PR. This is precision search strategy. And we’ve done it for hundreds of Australians who thought they were stuck with that link forever.
Can this be done quietly?
Absolutely. In fact, discretion is our default.
We don’t promote what we’re doing. We don’t need to make noise. Everything is handled confidentially, with zero risk of drawing new attention to the old charge.
Your employer won’t know. Your friends and family won’t see what’s happening behind the scenes. You’ll just wake up one day, search your name, and see the difference.
And the best part? Once the suppression holds, Google will start reflecting you — not your past.
We’ve helped people across Australia: from Sydney to small towns
From New South Wales to WA, we’ve worked with people from every walk of life.
- A teacher who was wrongly named in a local paper — charges dropped, but the article stayed. We got it de-indexed and replaced with professional content.
- A tradesman who served time for a non-violent offence, now back running a successful business — we buried the article and cleaned up his image search.
- A young adult who made a mistake as a teenager — we helped ensure that past didn’t follow him into job interviews.
We don’t ask questions. We just get to work.
If you’ve moved on — your name should too
You’re not defined by what happened back then. You’re not the person in that article. And you’re not alone.
If you want a clean digital slate — if you want your name back — we’ll help you make it happen.
