I met my wife when she was 17 and I was 19. Send me straight to prison. Guilty as charged.

I noticed you left out the age of the "child".
He was 17.
Washington's Age of consent is 16.
Correct. Technically, this means that Micah Rhodes is not legally a pedophile. As for the fake news that concludes the OP, we find an unnamed (of course) whistleblower leaking the upcoming "Pizzagate" busts because the DOJ wants people to know they are coming. On the other hand, President Trump had to rush the Muslim ban because he didn't want the bad guys to know it was coming. Which lie sounds more plausible?
The boy said he met Rhodes in 2015 via the Grindr dating app. He told Rhodes he was 17 and Rhodes told him that he had a record of sexual crimes and needed to exercise caution. The boy said despite that, they had consensual sex in Gresham and Troutdale.

Clearly, he is lacking in judgement. He is probably seeking partners who are his emotional age. He is predatory, but note that it is with teens who are sexually aware, not young children who know nothing. The Op is sensationalistic, and a clear attempt to paint an entire movement as depraved based on the behavior of a single individual.

Because if you're not parroting the approved group-think party line on this subject matter, obviously you're a closeted pedo that has just outed yourself and deserve to be called out for doing so.
Duh.

Not just a single individual, they are ALL bat**** crazy.

Portland is in Oregon. The age of consent there is 18.

Then they need to change their homophobic laws.

This just seems like they have been searching for anything to arrest him for.
I actually have no opinion on blm itself as I know little about them apart from it's reason for coming into existence.

Well, I mean, okay. But the guy in question is 23. And his (I can't even put enough quotes around the word victim so I won't even try) "victim" was 17. Not a big deal, IMO.
