Benefit fraud - can I get in to the US?

Several years ago I was convicted in court for benefit fraud. I got what I deserved, I was a scrounging scumbag who got caught, and I learned from it.
It was all done through the local council, no police involvement whatsoever - so would this prevent me from entering the US? I know that generally if you've ever been arrested then you'll have trouble getting a visa but what about my situation? I was dealt with through the local magistrates and was not given a custodial sentence.

ask the US Consulate.
charged not just arrested.
you should be okay.
Shockingly the US immigration actually ask if you've ever been arrested (even if you were completely innocent) on their visa waiver forms.
