Hi, So The Situation That I Am American While My Boyfriend English And We Want To Visit My Family

Hi, so the situation is that I am American while my boyfriend is English and we want to visit my family for only one month in the US over summer. My boyfriend has a record for something he did when he was 17, and it is now spent. It is my understanding that you must declare this anyway, and upon research I have found it is very likely he will get denied. I know of many people that don't declare things like this and just go to the US, however I am concerned this would cause problems for us in the future if we were to get married. Is this the case? If we apply for a spouse visa in the future will they see that he traveled without declaring, even if it was years down the line and he had a new passport by then?
