Two Level 3 sex offenders register Grays Harbor County addresses

Two Level 3 sex offenders have registered Grays Harbor County addresses, according to the Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office.

John Wayne Gates, 38, has registered an address in the 100 block of Eagle Street in Oakville. Gates has twice been convicted of first-degree child molestation, once in 1994 in Okanogan County and again in 1996 in Pacific County. In those cases the victims were 3- and 4-year-old girls, one a family friend and another a family member.

Gates is a white male with brown hair and blue eyes.

Zacharay Kilbane Christensen, 34, has registered an address in the 200 block of Otis Avenue in Moclips. While still a minor, Christensen was twice convicted by the Quinault Tribal Court, once for rape and again for rape and indecent liberties, in 1996 and 1999. In 2007 he was convicted in U.S. Federal Court of aggravataed sexual abuse for the forcible rape of an adult female.

Christensen is described as an American Indian with brown hair and brown eyes.

Both men are considered at the highest risk to re-offend. Neither is currently sought by police; the Sheriff’s Office by state law is directed to release information about registered sex offenders when they register within the county to enhance public safety and awareness.
