Skaffa ESTA
For the classification of offences which are considered to be crimes of moral turpitude, see this document. However, note that factors such as your age at the time of the offence and the length of time that has passed may affect whether an offence will be considered a crime involving moral turpitude for purposes of the Immigration and Nationality Act. According to the legislation, your offence will not be considered one of moral turpitude if:
You were under 18 when you committed the offence
At least five years have elapsed since the date of your conviction or, where you were sentenced to a period of detention or imprisonment, at least five years have elapsed since the date of your release
The maximum possible sentence for the offence was less than 12 months (regardless of the actual sentence you received) and you were sentenced to six months or less
Note that if your offence meets the above conditions, this does not mean you do not need to declare it. The advice from the US Embassy is that if you have ever been arrested or convicted for any reason in any country, even if the arrest did not lead to a conviction, you should answer ?yes? to this question. The only exception would be an arrest for a minor motoring offence that resulted in a fixed penalty notice or other out of court disposal.
Have you ever violated any law related to possessing, using or distributing illegal drugs?
Do you seek to engage in, or have you ever engaged in terrorist activities, espionage, sabotage, or genocide?
Have you ever committed fraud or misrepresented yourself to obtain, or assist others to obtain, a visa or entry into the United States?
If you answer ?yes? to any of the above questions it doesn?t necessarily mean that you cannot travel to the US. It means that you are not eligible to travel under the VWP. Instead, you will need to apply for a Visitor Business (B1) or Pleasure (B2) visa through the US Embassy. As part of your application, you will need to apply for a police certificate and you may need to attend an interview. The US Department of State have useful information on their website about what they take into account when deciding whether or not to grant a visa. See here for further information about applying for a visa.

Det korta svaret är att du (om du var över 18 när brottet begicks) inte kan få ESTA (=inte omfattas av VWP- Visa Waiver Program) utan istället måste ansöka om visum. Men jag hade ringt USAs ambassad och dubbelkollat, för att vara 100% säker.
