I was charged with lewd conduct in a california sting operation in a public park. We negotiated a plead of no contest to disorderly conduct (California misdemeanor 415 - using obscene language).
I assume I would have to state the conviction if asked specifically about criminal charges on a job application, but am I required to state what the original charge was and provide details if asked once they see it on the application, or would I only have to detail what I was convicted of? Would employers have access to details of the original arrest (I was arrested and booked). Thank you.
