I am pregnant and my boyfriend is on probation for rape of 14 year-old. Can he be around our child?

He can but only with permission of a judge or  probation.


Probation has a list of special conditions for sex offenders which should have been given to him at the time of his sentence. Where the victim was a minor, the defendant cannot live in a residence with anyone under 18 without the permission of the Court (judge) or Probation. Permission is also required for working or volunteering for businesses with workers under 18 as well as being at locations predominantly frequented by persons under 18.
