of Portland, Oregon after authorities say he violated a condition of his probation,
prohibiting him from having any contact with minors. (Daily Wire)
Micah Rhodes was "ordered to stay away from anyone under 18" after being
convicted of criminal sexual abuse this year for incidents that occurred in 2014
and 2015, Oregon Live reports.
Rhodes was put on probation this year after being convicted on "three counts
of second-degree sexual abuse for having illicit sexual contact with a
17-year-old girl in Washington County and a 17-year-old boy in Multnomah
County. The sexual abuse occurred in 2014 and 2015, and Rhodes was
20 and 21 years old at the time."
The Occupy ICE PDX camp had a number of minor children living in it,
Oregon Live says, based on reports from other bloggers and reporters
who visited the camp. Authorities have not released details of Rhodes's
alleged contact with minors but the cramped quarters of the camp likely
made it impossible for Rhodes to abide by the conditions of his probation,
which mandate a certain distance from all minor children.
It is not clear, either, whether Rhodes lived full time at the camp. He does
run a group called "Portland's Resistance," which was involved in the
Occupy ICE protests in Portland and which seems to have visited the
camp regularly. A blogger named Robert West allegedly filmed Rhodes
at a protest outside Portland's ICE headquarters back in June before the
Occupy ICE PDX camp broke ground.
A judge will hear Rhodes' case next week. He faces up to 30 months in prison.
