Amid a firestorm of controversy related to overcrowding and understaffing at Green Hill, KING 5 has learned the Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) has quietly paid millions of dollars to settle sex abuse claims — some of them decades old — against staff members. First, there was the arrest of an employee at the Green Hill School who was charged with having sex with a young offender in custody. Then came the arrest of a second Green Hill employee last week, accused of abusing her position and possibly having sex — with the same young offender. Angel M. Misner, 32, recently pleaded not guilty to a charge of custodial sexual misconduct in Lewis County Superior Court. Emily N. Baker, 29, is charged with witness tampering and abuse of office, but documents suggest she may have also had a sexual relationship with a 21-year-old inmate Robbrie Thompson. Baker pleaded not guilty in an Aug. 15 court appearance. In February, administrators at the detention facility for young males found nude photos of a former employee in a resident’s cell. In July, lawyers filed a tort claim alleging their client at Green Hill videotaped sexual encounters with yet another staff member, who is already in jail for inciting a fight among the young inmates. Those are just some of the sex abuse cases reported this year at the Green Hill School, Washington’s maximum-security school for male youth in Chehalis.
