James Richard Smith of Boardman will receive a 25-year prison sentence following his conviction on sex-related charges in three Oregon counties, according to Morrow County District Attorney Jeff Wallace. Smith, 63, who resided at the Trail Apartments in Boardman, plead guilty to first-degree sodomy and four counts of first-degree sex abuse before Circuit Court Judge Pro-Tern Ralph Currin on October 24 in Heppner. "Smith also plead guilty on Oc tober 25 to first-degree sodomy and sex abuse in Gilliam County," said Wallace, "and plead guilty to first- degree sodomy and sex abuse in Clackamas County on November 1.” He will receive a total prison sentence on the Oregon conviction of slightly over 25 years, said Wallace. Charges are also pending against Smith in Clark County, Washington, for alleged sexual activity with minors there, said Wallace. After sentencing is completed in Oregon he will be extradited back to Van couver, WA., where he will stand trial in those cases. If convicted there, he could be sentenced to an additional 180-months’ prison term and be declared a sexual psychopath under Washington law This would result in his incarceration for the rest of his life. "I expect that he will be convicted in Washington as well, since he has already confessed to the crimes there," said Wallace. Wallace noted that a large part of the credit for the successful resolu tion of the case belongs to Boardman Police Chief Greg Sayles, who ob tained confessions to the numerous crimes, and handled most of the investigation. "It was especially nice to have such a strong case in order not to have to put the victims through the ordeal of repeated trials,” said Wallace. Smith moved to Boardman in 1988 from the Portland area after retiring from the Union Pacific Railroad. He had previously been convicted of in decent liberties in Clark County, Washington, in 1981, and had been placed on five years’ probation on that charge.
