It says in SA YD Siman 305 that a Bas Cohen that has a bechor (firstborn) with a goynon-Jew there is chiyuv of pidyon haben since the Bas Cohen through having relations with the goynon-Jew she looses her status of being a Bas Cohen. What about if a not-frum (irreligious) Bas Cohen before becoming a baalas teshuva (religious person) had relations with a goynon-Jew. Then after becoming frum (religious) later got married to a Yisrael and had a bechor. Is there a chiyuv of making a pidyon haben on that child? (My doubt is because through the relations with the goynon-Jew before becoming frum perhaps she lost her status of being a Bas Cohen.)
replace "goy" with "non-Jew" per http://meta.judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/1127/should-we-censor-the-term-goy-when-used-in-english-to-mean-gentile
