Leyton Orient chief executive Alessandro Angelieri has confirmed the club have no interest in signing Ched Evans.
Convicted rapist Evans was released from prison in October after serving two and a half years in prison. The striker is trying to find a new club but only Oldham Athletic are currently showing an interest in signing him.
Angelieri admitted the O's have no plans to sign the former Sheffield United forward and said he would find it difficult bringing someone with his background into the workplace.
The Italian said: "Personally I would not be happy to bring in a person like that. It could apply whether they are a player or someone working in the office because integrity for me is quite important.
"Obviously people make mistakes during their lives and I don't want to point a finger at that person. But ideally everybody should be clear, honest and especially that kind of crime is very serious but this is my personal feeling."
