if you get married and them find out that your husband has been convicted as a juevinile of sexual offenses with a toddler and was sent away for this is there any way you can find out if he has a record? i am pregnant and want to make sure this did or did not happen before the baby comes.

Yes. You can do whatever you want, but if you've said no and or he's hurting you then yes it can be a sexual crime. sexual abuse occurs when people are married as well.
