   One of the key figures behind the anti-Trump protests in   
   Portland, Oregon has been taken into custody and is facing   
   sexual abuse charges after a police investigation into his   
   relationship with a teenage boy, according to local media   
   outlets.   
      
   Micah Rhodes, a ring-leader of Portland’s Resistance that led   
   disorderly anti-Trump protests, was expected in court Monday.   
   KGW reports that sexual abuse accusations are statutory, non-   
   forced rape.   
      
   According to KOIN.com, the 23-year-old activist is a registered   
   sex offender and was previously arrested for disorderly conduct   
   during the anti-Trump protests after the election.   
      
   Rhodes was arrested at an anti-Trump protest on January 25. He   
   was interviewed by PPB Sex Crimes detectives and admitted having   
   sex with an underage male.   
      
   The leader of the resistance group allegedly met the teenage boy   
   on gay dating app Grindr. The teenager informed police that   
   Rhodes knew he was a minor before they had sexual intercourse.   
      
   According to a detective’s affidavit, Rhodes had “reservations   
   about getting in trouble” for having sex with a minor, but   
   decided to proceed anyway and had sex in 2015 when the victim   
   was 17. The teen claimed the sexual activities were consensual.   
      
   Along with these accusations against Rhodes, KOIN.com also   
   reported that the activist is accused of having sex with an   
   underage female, which he admitted, while he was being held on   
   January 25.   
      
   The police spoke with an alleged female victim who said that   
   Rhodes was aware she was a minor when the sexual activity   
   occurred.
