Unfortunately anything within the past 10 years will be still seen as a red flag to nearly anyone but even after that I think it'll still be 50/50 where in some circumstances it will be a red flag to others not so much. It also depends on exactly what those charges involved/the situation you're in.
I had a friend a few years ago who had a criminal record but it was several years back before we met when he was 19-20 for bar fights while he was drunk. He didn't have any after that but he behaved in a scary manner sometimes. I broke off the friendship and I found out a few months later he tried to kill someone while drunk and is now in prison so those charges still give a red flag because there's a higher chance the person still does criminal things or has the potential to. I'm not saying you are still a criminal I'm just saying it's just a red flag in general because there's that higher chance of the person still engaging in criminal activity.
I later found out the guy also assaulted his uncle while we were friends and he broke his uncle's fingers in a drunk rage and never told me/no charged were filed because his uncle was the one who raised him and didn't want anything to happen to him so yeah.
