Quick question about criminal history.

[eb_5litre]

I have a friend who has begun a relationship with a new fella that is not exactly forthcoming about his recent criminal history..... because of my own concerns is there any way to legally find out a persons criminal history?

I do believe that anything done as a minor is sealed, but anything done as an adult is pretty much public record, contact a private investigator they have contacts in the right places.

Or go FOI.

I would think for private citizens, no, its personal information. Unless he signs a release for a criminal history check, like for employment checks.

If he isnt forthcoming, and it concerns her, please tell me its a her, the answer is fairly obvious I would think.

If he is young, he could be full of it too, in which case the answer doesnt change IMO.

ok thanks..... he told her he got 15mths prison time for assaulting a guy that was mistreating a woman. That doesnt add up to me... either it was more serious or he has a previous history.
I can only ask so many questions..... women in love dont often make the most sensible choices.

No need for the agro....
I'm married to her friend, she has 4 kids and I have 3 who regularly visit there. I have every right to be concerned. I'm not concerned enough yet to take it up further, this is just for my piece of mind.
I also have family and friends who have had prison stints so just back up a bit hey.

If shes a friend, its what friends do. If the OP knows about it, and her "concern", she made it his business as a friend. But yeah, dont get too involved. Anything the OP says wont help, all you can do is let her talk to you, and work it out for herself. Anything you say will come back at you. Just keep your distance from both. Sounds like a headache you dont need.

But based on the last post by the OP, Id say the person in question is full of it and probably never seen the inside of a lockup, let alone jail, and she likes the excitement. A wannabe. Maybe he spent time in a 'boys home' for dumb 5hit and thats his story.

In my experience getting involved in other peoples relationships is lose lose.. nothing you do will make a difference if she wants him and you will end up the bad guy.
I do understand this situation,as I have had a good friend murdered by a looser,nothing I or any of our group of friends said made a difference,all that happened is she moved away and the rest is history.

Yeah i'm not taking it further, my wife has voiced concerns to her and ive told my wife to just be mindful around him.
I just thought there might have been some sort of registry.

He has actually been in and is on parole at the moment. He didnt want to go into detail which sounds suss to me.... anyways I got an answer to my question so i'll leave it at that.

Thanks guys.
