An Alberta woman is questioning the choice of a keynote speaker for an event put on by Little Warriors — an organization focused on fighting and treating child sexual abuse, and advocating for survivors.
The speaker was pulled from the bill earlier this week, however, the organization knew about the speaker's alleged sexual misconduct months ago.
Chelsea Meyers, a sexual assault survivor, has donated her time and money to Little Warriors over the last 10 years.
The local charity raises awareness and provides information about child sexual abuse. It also has a treatment facility known as the Be Brave Ranch to help children cope with the effects of sexual abuse.
That’s why Meyers says she was shocked last week to discover who Little Warriors had booked as keynote speaker for its upcoming Be Brave Luncheon.
"When I saw their Facebook post announcing their excitement over having him as their keynote speaker, which immediately raised red flags for me," Meyers said.
Paul Hutchinson is a producer and investor for the movie Sound of Freedom, which came out last summer.
