The crime was committed many years, at the age of 15 and happened in the U. K, it is now'spent.' I now have a French Passport,instead of a British one-so, i shall assume i do not have to declare anything, or so i've been told. Right?
Thanks.

dont worry about it, ive been to 13 countrys and none of them care if you have a criminal record. the usa dosnt check for small crimes when you enter. you dont need to declare it

The USA does not recognize the concept of spent convictions so you must declare and, indeed, may have to apply for a visa beforehand. Having said that, if it was relatively minor, you should have little difficulty getting a visa. Please do not rely on the Visa Waiver Program. People do get turned back at their port of entry when they try to enter the USA with an I-94 without declaring criminal convictions.
