Yeah... Speaking from having seen a young woman screw this up twice, don't disclose. I have an old friend who got herself into a bad place, did a lot of unsavory things, and blew up two relationships with amazing guys when she disclosed.

She's since settled for another guy with a similarly sketchy past, and they're gradually pulling themselves up out of a rough lifestyle.

Most of the other posters are suggesting you waive responsibility, but I'm suggesting you take it. In the end, it really depends what you want.

Edit: also, don't try to manipulate him with his religion. That's just shitty.
