You are getting different answers because your information is incorrect. If you were given an ACD then there is no conviction. If you were however convicted and given a CD then there is a conviction. You need to find out the disposition of the case. Ultimately, however Harassment 2nd is a violation and not a crime.

Either way you look at it, you were not convicted of a crime so you can answer no without an explanation.
