JACOB
JONES | THE DAILY WORLD Gary E. Anderson, a former supervisor with
Child Protective Services, was sentenced to a minimum of 10 years in
prison Friday after pleading guilty to first-degree child rape and
molestation.
Judge rejects recommendation of 1 year in jail and treatment
Gary E. Anderson leaned into the podium, his head lowered and the blue jail
jumpsuit draping off his thin frame.
The
67-year-old former Child Protective Services director told the court he
did not understand how he could spend 36 years of his life defending
children, including his own, and now stand guilty of raping a
9-year-old girl and molesting another girl of the same age.
“I’ve
broken a sacred trust not only with these children, but those who love
them,” he said Friday. “I broke their hearts. … I am sorry for what
I’ve done.”
Anderson
pleaded guilty to first-degree child rape and first-degree molestation
last year for “numerous” times when he touched the two girls
inappropriately, according to court records. He admitted his conduct in
a plea agreement recommending an alternative sentence of one year in
jail as well as sex offender therapy and supervision upon release.
Superior
Court Judge Mark McCauley rejected the recommended Special Sex Offender
Sentencing Alternative on Friday, saying Anderson deserved prison
despite pleas from the victims’ families to grant treatment.
“I
have really struggled with this decision,” the judge said. “There was
such a trust. There are multiple victims. His conduct went on for
years.”
McCauley
sentenced Anderson to a minimum of 10 years to life in prison with
annual reviews to determine whether he can ever be released.
Anderson’s eyes dropped to the table. His supporters in the audience wept
softly.

“These
crimes, from my point of view, are horrific crimes,” McCauley said,
noting he had given substantial prison sentences to other offenders who
never even touched a child.
The
judge said the victims and their families have to live with the
consequences of Anderson’s actions for the rest of their lives. He said
he is also concerned about any chance Anderson could re-offend, despite
his age.
“I just can’t in good conscience grant a (sentencing alternative),”
McCauley said.
Court
records stated Anderson first acknowledged he had touched the girls
inappropriately when confronted by their parents in January of 2008. He
was charged with raping one girl and molesting the other.
The
state Department of Social & Health Services said he worked for
Child Protective Services for 36 years and retired in 2000. He
supervised social workers, but rarely interacted with children.
Anderson was arrested in March of 2008 and unanswered questions about other
possible victims delayed his sentencing for months.
Deputy prosecutor Katie Svoboda said everyone involved should be better off with
the long case finished.
“It took a lot of work,” she said. “This is a hard case and a hard call
(by the judge).”
Svoboda
had joined the defense in recommending the alternative sentence with
therapy, but said a prison sentence was “well-warranted.”
Defense
attorney Brett Purtzer called a polygraph examiner and a
psychotherapist to the stand Friday to testify about Anderson’s chances
of benefiting from treatment.
“If
Mr. Anderson is not an individual that qualifies for (the alternative
sentence),” Purtzer argued, “then that person does not exist.”
The
attorney presented several letters of support for Anderson and one of
the victim’s parents asked the court to allow for treatment instead of
prison.
Anderson
said he had taken full responsibility and wanted the chance to
understand why he had done such things. He believed the alternative
sentence and treatment would give him that chance.
“This (sentencing alternative) truly is a privilege,” McCauley told him.
“There’s no right to go through this treatment.”
[ I'd like you to
ask yourself, what Foundation are you donating to? Most of the
Foundations (if not all) that you are donating to, fund this sort of
behavior and give Grants to CPS, such as United Way just as an example.
Foundations have become the small business of the modern generation by
government officials, Judges, an those within the DHHS organization;
either directly or indirectly.. so next time you Donate.. ask
yourself.. who are YOU hurting?.. I will do an article on Foundations
one day, hopefully soon]
