Anything "can" be considered in a custody dispute. This fact reflects equally poorly on both parents, if the mother was aware of his past.

That is absolutely a factor and should be mentioned to your attorney. The court needs to be aware of this fact. It will not mean that father cannot have visitation rights, but it might be the one factor that would tip the scales in a custody dispute, all other things being equal.
