If the judgment was, indeed deferred, you can say legitimately you have never been convicted of domestic abuse. However that information is supposedt to be kept in the deferred judgment docket and is only available to certain law enforcement agencies.
Having said that, the DCI keeps that information active, and when you apply for a job and sign a waiver which is almost always the case they will release it to the people vetting you for your job.
