Denial of a tourist visa because of a misdemeanor in 2004

I am a German who was refused an 2013 a tourist visa to the USA at the Frankfurt Consulate. It was denialed because of Immigration and Nationality Act 212 (a)(2) (A)(i)(I) and 214(b). The offense happened in June 2004 and consisted of an exchange of caresses with a former patient of the Psychiatric Clinic I used to work at. The General Attorney punished me with an order of summary punishment (German: Strafbefehl) of ten months that was suspended and placed to a three years probation. The Immigration Officer at the Consulate considered this offense as being one of moral turpitude, and at the same time assumed that I wanted to settle in the USA, perhaps because in 1964-65 I had a green card. Since then I live in Germany, have here a solid situation and have no intention of returning to the USA. Menwhile my brother who has become a US-citizen is 85 years old and I would like to visit him for the last time in life. My question: how good are my chances of getting a visa if my wrong behavior happened 15 years ago. My police record in Germany shows no offenses any more. Many thanks for an answer Kurt
