Child protection services in Western Australia are investigating the father of Down's syndrome baby Gammy.
The probe follows allegations in local media that he is a sex offender.
Local media say they have seen court documents showing the father served three years for sexually molesting two girls under 10 in the late 1990s.
The man and his wife paid a Thai surrogate mother to have their child, but took home only Gammy's healthy sister when she had twins.
State authorities told the BBC they were now assessing his "suitability" to have a young child in his custody.
A spokesman for Western Australia's department for child protection and family support told the BBC: "Last night we were made aware of certain information by the police regarding allegations of the father's criminal background."
Gammy's case has made international headlines since it broke late last month.
Besides Down's syndrome, the six-month-old baby has a congenital heart condition and a lung infection.
Surrogate mother Pattharamon Chanbua claims his parents abandoned Gammy, but the parents have told local media they did not know of his existence.
