<human>: I [f23] started talking to this guy [m25] on the website, OkCupid. We have been talking for about 3 days, so thats about the extent of me knowing him. 

"Carl" is a nice guy and so far from what I can tell very sweet, but we haven't met yet; we planned to this week. I do like him a lot, but today he dropped a bombshell on me:   He has a statutory rape conviction from 2007, spent 3 years in prison for sleeping with a 14 year old when he was 18, and is now a registered sex offender. I have often been the person to give someone the benefit of the doubt, to not make judgements on past mistakes. He admitted it was a mistake, and it wouldn't happen again.

My ex boyfriend had a similar charge, but doesn't have to register, and I know how hard it is for someone with that kind of charge to get a job.

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Met a guy on a dating website, planned to meet, found out he has a sexual assault charge, not sure if we should pursue relationship because of his financial stability.
