Home Depot Rescreens Workers Sent Into Homes

Home Depot Rescreens Workers Sent Into Homes - News Story - WCVB Boston: "Home Depot is redoing background checks on 38,000 installers nationwide, after a Team 5 Investigates report exposed that the home improvement giant sent a convicted sex offender into a single woman's home to remodel her kitchen.

NewsCenter 5's Sean Kelly reported Friday that Home Depot executives first heard about Robert Clark after the Team 5 Investigation. Kelly traveled to Atlanta to update the progress of the screenings.

The case started months ago, when Home Depot sent Clark to Niki Lebrecque's home, even though he was not a licensed contractor. Court records show he has 'an extensive history of violent attacks.'"
