CanI get an adjudication withheld expunged?
I barley turned 18 and she was 15. I was charged with 3rd deg criminal sex. I received a plea called adjudication withheld and said it would be dismissed (4 months left until it is dismissed). I want to know if I can expunge this and how soon? i did not have to register or any of that stuff. How can I get a job? I am in college and looking for a job to support myself.

From what you have written you are under court probation where the charge that you lead to will be dismissed in four (4) months assuming you stay out of trouble.
Assuming you stay out of trouble during the next four (4) months where the result will be that the charge that you plead out to will be dismissed, you will have no need to file a petition for an expungement assuming the conviction will be dismissed by a court order as you have written.
I recommend that you consult with a criminal defense attorney further about the question you are writing about.
Good luck.
