I don't get what point you're trying to make. It's up to whoever asks such a question to define what sexual history means, it's not exactly precise.
If you clarify it by saying their sexual history (which is all legal) then it's fine. But I would assume that's what the term meant anyway. It seems like a trick questions otherwise. If you said to me "do I care about their sexual history, and they didn't do any crimes/adultery/whatever while doing any of it" then I'd say no.
If you include any crime they may have committed by nature of their sexual activity, who it was done with, what circumstances and what they did during it... that includes people robbing a bank or going on a murder spree while feeling each other up.
So I would hope everyone would agree that legal and non-legal is the minimum requirement for the question to be a sensible one to ask. You seem to be conflating this with their criminal/adulterous past. I'm not too sure why. It's not the sexual acts people would necessarily object to, but the context. "Having sex with someone" can be good or bad depending with who and in what circumstance. The "sex" part on its own isn't objectionable as such. For example, I don't care that they had sex, but I do care that it was with a child.
