NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with government and is not a consumer reporting agency. Neither it nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or another use regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
1. What This Website Is
Fayette County Criminal History is an independent reference resource. It does not hold government criminal records, run official checks, retrieve files, or submit paperwork. Its role is to identify official custodians such as Fayette County Clerk of Courts, the Sheriff and Jail, Pennsylvania State Police Central Repository, and Pennsylvania Sexual Offender Registry, and to provide links to outside tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Every visitor agrees not to:
- Use the website in violation of federal, Pennsylvania, or local law
- Stalk, threaten, intimidate, or harass another person
- Use content for a credit, employment, insurance, or housing decision
- Enter systems or data without authorization
- Operate bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools against the pages
- Interfere with the website or another visitor's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information found here or through a linked service may not be used to harass, stalk, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate. Pennsylvania Sexual Offender Registry information exists for public protection. It must not support vigilantism or unlawful treatment of a listed person, and misuse can have legal consequences.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Fayette County Criminal History does not prepare a background check, credit report, or consumer report and is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. Visitors must not use information from this resource or a linked tool to:
- Make a hiring or firing decision
- Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
- Assess credit or set insurance terms
- Decide eligibility for a license, benefit, permit, or public program
- Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose
An authorized check for a regulated purpose must come from an appropriate official or FCRA-compliant provider.
5. No Legal Advice
General explanations about Fayette County records and Pennsylvania procedures are not legal advice. A licensed Pennsylvania attorney should address how a warrant, charge, disposition, expungement, or limited-access rule affects a specific case.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are offered "as is." No warranty is made that:
- Information will always be accurate, complete, or current
- Access will be continuous or free from interruption
- The pages will contain no error, security flaw, or defect

Records and procedures can change after publication. Verify every fact with the Fayette County or Pennsylvania office that maintains the source record.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
External links lead to government agencies, courts, legal resources, and independent search services. Their operators control content, availability, fees, privacy, and terms. Fayette County Criminal History is not responsible for those services.
8. Intellectual Property
Unless another owner is identified, the text, design, graphics, logo, and code belong to Fayette County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, changing, distributing, or building upon them requires prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the greatest extent Pennsylvania law permits, the website and its operators are not liable for loss or damage arising from use of the site, reliance on its content, or use of a linked service.

These terms may be revised. A revision takes effect when the updated text is posted here.
13. Cutting Off Access
