He frequently appears in the news and other media discussing groups some consider cults. Ross has intervened in more than 500 deprogramming cases in various countries.

After high school, Ross worked for two years at a finance company and at a bank, but then got into legal trouble in his early 20s during a time period that he was in between jobs. In 1974, he pleaded guilty to trespassing after being charged for the attempted burglary of a vacant model home with a friend, and was sentenced to probation. In 1975, he was charged with grand theft, again with a friend, for embezzling from a jewelry shop where the friend worked.

During an interview with the New York Daily News in 2004, Ross said, “I was young and foolish and made mistakes that I deeply regret. I did whatever the court required, completed my probation in 1979, and the guilty verdicts were vacated in 1983. I have gone on with my life and never again got in that kind of trouble.”

In 1989, the CBS television program 48 Hours covered Ross’s deprogramming of a 14-year-old boy, Aaron Paron, a member of the Potter’s House Christian Fellowship. According to his mother, when she distanced herself from the church, Aaron began viewing her as “possessed by the devil”; he became suicidal and ran away from home, refusing to leave the organization. Aaron’s mother had made multiple calls to the police and, prior to filming, Potter’s House entered into an agreement that they would not have contact with or harbor the minor, entice him away from his mother, attempt to influence his behavior, or take any action that would interfere with his mother’s parental rights. The program focused on Ross’s efforts to persuade the boy to view Potter’s House as “a destructive Bible-based group” which took control of its members’ lives. According to a review in The New York Times, the 48-hour intervention apparently persuaded Aaron that his mother was not possessed by the Devil and that Potter’s House was not what it seemed. In a closing scene filmed three weeks later, Aaron’s psychologist assured his mother that Aaron was “back in the land of the living now”.
