I have nothing to hide. My boss has been fired from 2 jobs for this. And, he is going to give me a bad reference b/c he has sexually harassed me and I left the job without a notice. I want to be able to prove to a next employer why I left.

Any other advice after what I added?

no. Since it is not a criminal act, rather a company policy, they can't tell anyone they arrive at that subjective conclusion. They can only tell another prospective employer what dates you worked, and whether or not you are eligible for re-hire.
There are agencies you can enlist that will act as a prospective employer for you to check this out.
I wouldn't want to "prove" it to your next employer. There are other less controversial reasons to leave a job.
I don't think the guy who left can give you a bad reference as long as you don't use him for one.

If you're on the sex offenders list, pretty easy to find you.
If you got fired because you sexually harassed someone, then you are listed as "ineligible for rehire", but the business cannot legally tell the new company why - usually it's enough of a red flag.
If you got fired because you were sexually harassed, you may or may not show as being eligible for rehire.
The best way to find out, have a corporate friend, call your business, asking for an HR check (they need to have a corporate phone number they're calling from), and find out what the company says. Then you won't be surprised.
BTW, you can state on your employment application if a company is NOT to be contacted - this is usually not held against you.

No there isn't a check they can do. I'd be careful before brining this topic up in an interview. Honestly, I'd be a bit concerned hearing accusations like that being thrown around by an applicant. This is something businesses take seriously.
If you must tell them why you left, phrase it as a personality conflict, or you state that you felt you weren't being taken seriously or something along those lines.
Plus, if you left without notice, that's just the same as walking off the job in most books, no matter what the reason behind it might have been.

not likely unless there was a public court record of the proceedings.
any employer who wants to avoid being sued usually stays safe when being asked for references of past employees by just providing dates of employment and that's it.

not really unless there was a criminal charge against the person. and calling their previous employers won't do you any good either. by law all the can tel you is if that person is ok for rehire or not ok for rehire.
