Bio

Sean Cruz is the father of four children who disappeared into Utah in a Mormon abduction in 1996. In 2005, as Oregon State Senator Avel Gordly's chief of staff, he led the workgroup on her landmark child abduction statute, Senate Bill 1041, making Oregon the first and only state in the nation where abducting a child creates a civil cause of action. SB 1041 passed on a dramatic, end-of-session unanimous House vote, and immediately became known as "Aaron's Law" in memory of his late son Aaron Cruz, who died in the course of the abduction. He hopes to see the principles of Aaron's Law applied nationwide.
