Steered Straight Never Uses Sex Offenders

May 1, 2005
Because of all the recent media attention on sex-offenders, and because of our concern about our message being properly received, we felt it necessary to state our position on our messengers.

Steered Straight never has and never will use as a speaker, an ex-offender who has any charges against children or any charges of a sexual nature.

Because our audiences are mostly students, we are extremely sensitive about our message, and therefore we are equally sensitive about our messengers.

No one on our staff or in our employ has had any sex-related charges or any charges against a child.

Our messages about substance abuse, criminal activity, gangs, and the consequences of involvement in these sub-cultural choices are delivered by successfully acclimated ex-offenders.

These speakers have gone through real-life experiences. Some have shocking stories. Some have served many years in prison.

But none of our speakers have any offences, in their complete history, of a sexual nature or against children.
