I dumped my boyfriend after finding out he’s been in trouble for sexting a minor
DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER finding out the guy I love has been in trouble for texting a minor for sex, I ended the relationship – but I worry I have made a mistake.
He’s a lovely guy and I thought he was the one for me.
We’d been together for two months when a friend told me he’d been in trouble.
I asked him about it and he admitted he was arrested.
He swears he didn’t do anything but won’t give me any proof.
He’s 39 and I’m 31. I ended it because I have young children myself and the more we talked about it the more I got the feeling he was involved, but I miss him so much.

DEIDRE SAYS: If he’s not willing to prove he’s in the clear, then you’re wise to end it.
Coming across as a lovely person doesn’t rule him out as a sex offender.
If you give him the benefit of the doubt, you could be putting your own children at risk.
My e-leaflet Protecting Kids From Abuse will reassure you.
