1) A registered sex offender
Way to go aggy.
Camp removes Houston
STILLWATER -- Former NBA player Byron Houston has been removed from a basketball camp for children at Oklahoma State after officials were alerted that the former Cowboys star remains a registered sex offender.
Houston, 36, pleaded guilty in March 2003 to four counts of indecent exposure. Houston's supervised probation ended Jan. 28, 2005, but his case does not expire until March 3, 2009. He is required to register as a sex offender for 10 years after that.
"Byron Houston is making significant strides in his life," Oklahoma State head coach-designate Sean Sutton said. "Because of a previous arrangement with the judge in his case, we believed he was allowed to work basketball camps this year. When told that was not the case, we took the proper steps. He is no longer working our camps."
Houston had been working with supervisors and instructors for kids at the camp.
In Oklahoma, it is unlawful for any registered sex offender to work with or provide services to children or to work on school premises, or for any person or business which contracts for work to be performed on school premises to knowingly and willfully employ anyone registered.
