Flying to the US with a criminal offence

[Toby01]

I'm due to travel to the US sometime next year but have a criminal caution for possession of indecent images of a child. The offence was committed when I was 16 (I'm now 18) and will be spent in April next year.
Will I have any problems flying to America or other countries from the UK?

Obvious returned bannee is obvious.

Hypothetically, say if his girlfriend, also 16, sent him a nude selfie.

sorry fella I didn't see the age bit, I won't pry but as it is explained above I can see how it might have come about.

It really seems fucked up that kids can be criminalised for that.

No worries. It's an expected response. Just a stupid 16 year old back then.

Think will depend on circumstances. If as above, should be ok but if not then comes under Moral Turpitude
but in any event when 18, are not events wiped. I know they are never wiped after 18 but I think I saw
somewhere that before 18 you were ok. Dont think its right to carry that weight around all your life but, as I say depends on circumstances.
