"Malachi’s family said they want to clear his name and expunge the incident from his record,"

I understand the need/want to get rid of bullshit like this from one's record. However, it's now all over the internet and the internet does not forget. Will this expungement include every news article that clearly uses his name and details of the accusations? Will that also include any articles detailing the final results if he is cleared (if news actually covers that part)?
