Within wider family there is a historic child sex abuse incident. Perpetrator was charged & sent to prison. Now out.. all been brushed under carpet by his nearest & dearest - apparently he’s rehabilitated!!?!? Obvs most of the rest of family have nothing to do with him. However within those that do, a new girlfriend has come onto the scene & she has a young child. Not sure if she’s been told the full story. Would you tell her??

Absolutely, 💯 I would. She needs to know in order to adequately protect her child/ children.

I would. Is he not on parole or sex offender register?

I don't know if it would come up on a Clare's Law check, you could suggest she does that.
