Can I obtain copies of the case I was involved in as a minor?

I was a victim of abuse as a child. I remember vaguely what happened, and only remember a few counselors I spoke to. Because of some recent events I would like to get copies from the court of anything about the case so I can find out what really happened. I called the courts but they said I can get a copy of the docket but no other files (the clerk rushed me off the phone). I know they filmed me making a statement and they probably recorded me as well.
Don't I have a right to review the files of a case that I was a victim in? As an adult now, I have a feeling my mother coached me into saying certain stuff that might not have happened. I just want to find out the truth. The defendant was also a minor so I am not sure if this causes a problem.
Thanks in advance.

Usually you can't get police reports, evidence, etc., unless you can show some need for them.

I'd suggest you contact the prosecutor's office. We have a person in our office who handles all requests for case file information. It may be they will permit you to examine the file, even if you can't take copies.

have you talked to the police? the library may have copy's of old newspapers and try and search the internet, or mabey just ask you friends + relitives? :) hope that helps
