Registered Sex Offender: Immigration

Due Diligence Dept: It arrived on Friday when word finally started leaking out that Washington, 25, is a registered sex offender, who, at the age of 16, had sex with his 15-year-old sister, according to Calgary Herald. "We signed him knowing it would be a challenge getting him to Calgary," acknowledged Hufnagel on Friday. "He has a history, but we've done our due diligence, we've been in communication with numerous people who are involved in the situation, and I've talked personally to Tony numerous times on the phone, and he was in Florida for the Stamps' free-agent camp , where I sat down and talked to the young man." John Hufnagel had been bracing for the impact for the better part of six months when he decided to sign offensive lineman Tony Washington to a contract. Now, the Stamps are waiting to see if Canadian immigration officials will allow Washington, who had a troubled upbringing but who has owned up to his past and has been forgiven by his sister, across the border. As reported in the news.
