would you continue going out with the person?

it is hard to say. his dark past may give you some bad impression, how is your first dating with him? i think it is good, then you ask us this question. ask your heart and what do you want? others can't give you exact answer. only yourself know. no matter what's the answer protect yourself first

No, I wouldn't. Sexual offenders almost always reoffend. And I wouldn't want to take that chance.

Actually i believe that every person need to have a second chance but of course we cannot deny the fact that he have been a sexual offender. How did you know that he have been in jail for 12 years because of sexual offense? did he tell it to you or you just know his background? did you ask him why? i tyo myself cannot judge him, what id he's just being set-up or his girlfriend is the one who accuse it to him, there maybe alot of reasons why he have been there. I think you like him and maybe you should be frank to him, try to be open anyway i think you're willing to accept him. But be careful there are still risk in dating him, aren't you afraid that he can do it also to you?

Every person has a past... and for me the best thing for you to do is ask him about what happend? and after that if you think that its okay with you about his past. lay down your cards on what is your conditions

he did not told you his past that is very dangerous thing.maybe he is not to ready have new life. if he is initiative tell you the truth maybe u can give him a chance!
