I think it matters what his specific crime was. A pedophile, for example, isn't going to bother your old lady friend. Likewise with a gangbanger who beat/raped an ex-girlfriend, not some stranger off the street. I do think it's in her best interest to know that he's there, but more importantly to know what he looks like. Then she won't be jumping in fear at every door-to-door salesman, and she'll never accidentally let him in under false pretenses.
