CROSS: Brought the girl to his hotel on each of his three trips to Pendleton
East Oregonian
Continued from 1A
an 18-year-old former inmate
at Oak Creek, a close-cus-
tody correctional facility for
young women in Albany.
They met that spring, when
Cross was a group life
coordinator for the Youth
Authority.
Staff pulled the teen from
Cross’s work crew after she
said she wore makeup to
“look good for Gary.” But
the Youth Authority started
its
investigation
when
Cross’s wife told one of her
husband’s co-workers he
was having an affair with a
teen who paroled out of Oak
Creek.
The Youth Authority
paroled the girl on Aug. 11 to
Community Outreach Inc.,
a Corvallis halfway house.
A week later she ran away,
resulting in a felony warrant
for her arrest.
Manley told state police
that Cross was at the Oxford
Suites in Pendleton for
Oregon Youth Authority
meetings and had been there
twice already that month.
Moisan contacted fellow
OSP detective Mike Wolf
in the Pendleton office and
asked him to check the
hotel for Cross and the girl.
Hotel staff confirmed Cross
checked in but would not tell
Wolf any other information.
Wolf found the state-owned
car Cross drove to the hotel
but did not find evidence of
the teen.
Manley emailed police
that Cross would be back at
the Pendleton hotel Sept. 6-9.
The morning of Sept. 9,
Wolf spotted Cross outside
the hotel, and he was with a
girl. Three hours later, Wolf
had the girl in custody on the
warrant and released Cross
to return to Salem in the
state-owned car.
Wolf questioned the girl
and found photos of Cross’s
genitals on her cellphone.
She claimed she stayed with
Cross at the Oxford Suites
on two previous trips to
Pendleton but did not admit
to having sex with him. She
also said hotel staff “tipped
them off” to the police.
Moisan caught up with
Cross at the state lot in Salem
where he was picking up his
car and took him to the OSP
office for questioning.
Cross said he met the
girl in May at Oak Creek,
and in June used the state’s
Juvenile Justice Information
System to access informa-
tion about her, although he
had no official reason to do
so. He said she contacted
him on Facebook in August,
and they used Facebook
Messenger to communicate.
They exchanged phone
numbers and met in person.
He said did not know she had
a warrant.
He told police he brought
her to his Pendleton hotel on
each of his three stays and
admitted to having sex with
her multiple times. He said
he sent photos of himself,
including of his genitals.
He used personal and work
phones to send her messages,
and he drove a state car to
pick her up in Centralia,
Washington.
“Cross told me,” the
detective wrote, “he knew
his relationship with [name
deleted] violated OYA
policy.”
Benjamin
Chambers,
communications
director
for the Youth Authority,
said in an email Cross “was
duty-stationed at home
beginning Sept. 12, 2016,
while we began an investiga-
tion. We sent a pre-dismissal
letter to him on Oct. 7, 2016,
and he resigned on Oct. 19,
2016, while our investigation
was still ongoing.”
Cross began working at
the Oregon Youth Authority
on March 31, 2008.
Moisan on Sept. 13 took
a call from Youth Authority
investigator Manley, who
said the girl admitted to her
parole officer she and Cross
had sex while she was an
inmate at Oak Creek when she
was 17. She also said Cross
drove her from the halfway
house the night of Aug. 18,
when she absconded, to her
friend’s home in Centralia,
Washington.
Moisan questioned the
girl that afternoon at the
Eugene juvenile detention
center. She claimed she
hinted to Cross there might
be a warrant for her but
never outright said so. She
had memorized his personal
cellphone number. She saved
a message Cross sent from
his work phone proposing
marriage.
She told Moisan she
touched Cross under his
clothes at Oak Creek starting
in April or May, when she
was 17, but he did not touch
her, and they did not have
sex.
Moisan ended the ques-
tioning at 5:35 p.m. that day,
left the center and at 6:20
p.m. received a text from the
Debbie Anderson, the girl’s
parole officer.
“When I walked back in
... she said she had the feeling
you thought she wasn’t being
honest,” the text stated, and
she “might have forgotten
the places he touched me.”
Anderson also texted
what the girl told her and
what she told Moisan “was
real different” and she could
always call Moisan if she
remembered.
Moisan testified to a
Umatilla County grand jury
that indicted Cross on April
6. The charges of first-degree
official misconduct stem
from Cross using a state

vehicle to transport the
girl and getting a break on
the price of the hotel room
because he was a state
employee. The charges of
first-degree custodial sexual
misconduct relate to having
sex with the girl while he was
a youth offender supervisor
for the state.
A posting for a group
life coordinator, the position
Cross held, states the job
involves “pro-social role
modeling” and “coaching,
confronting, and correcting
the behavior of youth
offenders.”
Cross remains out of jail
on his own recognizance.
Circuit Judge Jon Lieuallen
during Tuesday morning’s
arraignment told Cross not
to contact the girl. Cross
is due back in court June
27, 10 a.m., for a pre-trial
conference.

U.S. Department of Energy via AP
— Kevn Kamps,
Beyond Nuclear
of nuclear weapons.
“The temporary solutions
DOE has used for decades to
contain radioactive waste at
Hanford have limited lifes-
pans,” said Sen. Ron Wyden,
an Oregon Democrat and
frequent Hanford critic. “The
longer it takes to clean up
Hanford, the higher the risk
will be to workers, the public
and the environment.”
U.S. Energy Secretary
Rick Perry acknowledged
the problem with nuclear
waste, saying the nation can
no longer delay fixing the
problem because lives are at
stake.
During a tour Wednesday
of the Los Alamos National
Laboratory in New Mexico,
Perry said the federal govern-
ment has failed to remove the
waste in a timely manner and
he pledged to make progress.
A recently approved
bipartisan federal budget deal
for this fiscal year includes
$2.3 billion for the ongoing
Hanford cleanup, which
matches the amount that Sen.
Patty Murray, a Washington
Democrat, worked to include
last year. President Donald
Trump is expected to release
his 2018 proposal later this
month.
Washington Gov. Jay
Inslee said the state plans to
issue an order making sure
the federal government deter-
mines the cause of the tunnel
collapse. The order will also
require the Energy Depart-
ment to assess if there’s an
immediate risk of failures in
any other tunnels and take
actions to safely store waste
in the tunnels until a decision
is made about how to perma-
nently handle the material.
Thousands of workers at
Hanford were told to stay
home as efforts began to plug
the 400-square-foot sinkhole
in the earth over the unoccu-
pied storage tunnel.

“The crisis at
Hanford is far
from an isolated
incident.”

RICHLAND, Wash. —
The collapse of a tunnel
containing radioactive waste
at the Hanford nuclear
weapons complex under-
scored what critics have
long been saying: The toxic
remnants of the Cold War are
being stored in haphazard and
unsafe conditions, and time is
running out to deal with the
problem.
“Unfortunately, the crisis
at Hanford is far from an
isolated incident,” said Kevin
Kamps of the anti-nuclear
group Beyond Nuclear.
For instance, at the
Savannah River Site in South
Carolina, which opened in
the 1950s and produced
plutonium and tritium, the
government is laboring
to clean up groundwater
contamination along with 40
million gallons of radioactive
liquid waste stored in tanks
that are decades past their
projected lifespan. The job is
likely to take decades.
In addition to the tunnel
collapse discovered Tuesday,
dozens of underground
storage tanks at the Hanford
Nuclear Reservation in Wash-
ington state — some dating to
World War II — are leaking
highly radioactive materials.
The problem is that the
U.S. government rushed
to build nuclear weapons
during the Cold War with
little thought given to how to
permanently dispose of the
resulting waste.
Safely removing it now
is
proving
enormously
expensive,
slow-going,
extraordinarily
dangerous
and so complex that much
of the technology required
simply does not exist. The
cleanup has also been plagued
with political and technical
setbacks.
For example, the nation’s
only underground nuclear
waste repository, in New
Mexico, closed to new
shipments in 2014 after an
improperly packed drum of
waste ruptured. The site just
recently reopened.
The U.S. Department
of Energy spends about $6
billion a year on managing
waste left from the production
