So both of them are going to be in a bit of trouble.
The pilot never received a clearance to cross. It doesn't matter if he read back or not . ATC would be wrong, If he had received clearance to cross, then ATC instructed to hold short and pilot didn't feedback.

A pilot may not cross a runway without ATC clearance. DL300 never had this, and never read back anything stating he did.
