Domain repurposed

RapSheets.org no longer publishes arrest records

Site guide · rapsheets.org · checked 2026-08-25

The domain now runs a gambling and lifestyle affiliate blog. Five removal companies still sell removal from it, one on a guide dated this year.

RapSheets.org still resolves, but what it serves is an unrelated affiliate blog — categories for Biography, Business, Gambling, Net Worth, Tech and Travel, with the newest posts dating from November 2023. There are no arrest records, no mugshots and no name search. The corpus was replaced while the domain kept whatever search authority it had built.

The removal industry has not noticed. One guide badged as a free 2026 legal guide tells readers to email a support address at this domain and wait thirty days.

What this site was

What it was, on the accounts available: a large aggregator of public arrest and criminal record information, indexing mugshots and case details scraped from sheriff and jail department websites across the country.
Every substantive description of it now comes from removal vendors. No operator, corporate registration, litigation, regulatory action or mainstream press coverage naming this site could be found. It rose and vanished without leaving a public record.
What the domain serves today is a WordPress affiliate blog branded Rap Sheets, with headlines about online slot jackpots and London nightlife. Its footer credits a .com version of the name rather than the .org you are reading.
The newest posts are from November 2023, so even the replacement content has been abandoned. The domain is being held, not run.
Vendor accounts of when the arrest-record site disappeared conflict — one says 2023 to 2024, another says early 2025. The blog's own post dates point to late 2023. Nobody can tell you precisely, and anyone who states a date confidently is guessing.

What actually works now

There is nothing to pay

No arrest records are published at this domain. There is no opt-out, no form and no one reading a removal address.

Ignore the emails you are told to send

Published guides direct readers to a support address at this domain. Mail to it is going to whoever holds an affiliate blog, not to anyone who ever held your record.

What actually helps

Google's Refresh Outdated Content tool, for any search result still pointing at a page that no longer exists. Free, and you do not need to own the page.

Check what replaced it

A repurposed domain sometimes keeps old URLs alive. Search your own name against this domain before assuming everything went with the old site.

What is still being sold for this site

Five companies still publish removal instructions or sell removal for this domain, and the most recently updated ones are the most misleading.

One guide, marked as a free 2026 legal guide and revised in May 2026, instructs readers to email a support address at this domain with documentation and wait thirty days before escalating to a state attorney general complaint. It also quotes market rates of $500 to $2,000 for specialist removal and $300 to $800 for a lawyer's demand letter.

Another, updated in March 2026, gives a six-step manual process including citing California and federal credit-reporting law to a blog about slot machines. A third updated its page in March 2026 without noticing. A fourth states the site vanished in early 2025 and sells removal from it on the same page.

Where Google comes into it

There is no arrest record at this domain to de-index. The exploitative-removal policy does not apply, because nobody here is demanding payment — the trigger for that policy is the site requiring payment to itself or another agency, and this domain is not asking for anything. A surviving search result points at a page that no longer exists in that form, which is what the refresh tool is for.

What we would charge you for, and what we would not

Do not pay for removal from this domain, and do not send documentation to the address the published guides give you. You would be emailing your court records to a stranger running an affiliate blog.
That last point is worth sitting with. Several of these guides ask you to attach proof of your disposition. Sending that to an unknown recipient is a worse outcome than the listing you were trying to fix.
Where we are worth paying: finding where the record actually lives now. A booking indexed here was scraped from a county source that other live sites also read, and those are real pages with real routes.

Common questions

Is RapSheets.org still a mugshot site?

No. The domain now serves an unrelated affiliate blog covering gambling, travel and celebrity net worth, with no arrest records and no name search. Its newest posts are from November 2023.

A removal guide told me to email support at rapsheets.org. Should I?

No. That address, if it goes anywhere, goes to whoever holds an affiliate blog. Several guides updated in 2026 still give this instruction, and some ask you to attach your court documents to it.

When did it stop publishing arrest records?

Not established. Vendor accounts conflict between 2023–2024 and early 2025, and the replacement blog's own posts stop in November 2023. Anyone giving you a precise date is guessing.

My record still shows in Google under this domain. What now?

Use Google's Refresh Outdated Content tool. It is built for search results pointing at pages that no longer exist, it is free, and it does not require you to own the page.

Try the free route first

This is the tool for a search result still showing a page that no longer exists. It is free, and — the part almost nobody knows — you must NOT own the page to use it. That is its entire purpose. Processing takes a few days. A request is refused if the text you describe is still on the live page, so it works only once the page is genuinely gone, which here it is.
