Perhaps I should ask your definition of a Christian, before we discuss whether the women having children with criminals are likely to be actual committed Christians. Because if you consider anyone born in a Christian-majority country to be a de facto Christian, we’ll have to agree to disagree.

Generally, a person is regarded as a Christian if baptized as such. Typically, that is done in infancy except the various Baptist denominations. Whether they all become practicing Christians as adults doesn't really change the matter unless they convert to something else or declare themselves atheists. Enshrined in Christian faith is that all fall short of the glory of God and sin. Sinning simply makes them human. It doesn't mean they ceased being Christians by itself.
