To ascertain the sincerity of his repentance, you should inquire from trustworthy individuals who know him well. Nevertheless, do not rush and seek Allah's guidance (perform Istikhara) regarding his matter. If there is no way to verify the sincerity of his repentance, and your heart is not at ease with marrying him, then it is better not to proceed with the marriage.
