I was in a relationship with a doorman for about 2 years & I have to say he was exactly the same when it ended. I'm sure not all doormen are the same but he was a nasty, violent piece of work, with a load of his mates behind him and I never would have guessed it while we were together. He seemed like a gentle giant.

If he really does want to be involved with this child then I guess you have to give him the chance but if he does have a tendancy for violence then just make sure you don't put yourself or your baby in any danger. It's just not worth it.

with all due respect even if he is sentenced it does not necessarily mean in the eyes of the law that he is automatically 'a bad father' and should not see his child. In the eyes of the courts ( if he were to pursue access if it were denied) this would not be enough to prevent access. To prevent access there would have to be a considerable risk to the child. A drug user would not be prevented access unless they had been seen to be unable to cope when the children are there. The most paramount thing is that a child maintains contact with BOTH parents, unless there is VERY good reason not to do so
