Exclusive: Seattle Far-Left Activist Charged in Child Sex Abuse Case
A Seattle Antifa activist is the latest far-left radical charged with child sex crimes
SEATTLE — A Seattle Antifa-linked anarchist and Black Lives Matter activist has been charged with child sex abuse crimes.
Gothic Ghetto, 54, was arrested on April 16. One of Ghetto’s prior legal names was Michael Tyrone Perkins.
The King County Sheriff’s Office initiated an investigation after receiving a CyperTip from the chat messaging app Kik, which is popular with minors, that Ghetto had allegedly uploaded files to the platform that were flagged as child sexual abuse material.
Searches of his devices revealed chat logs in which he allegedly sought out children to groom and sent them the address of his home. Police executed a search warrant at Ghetto’s Shoreline, Wash. apartment and allegedly discovered multiple homemade zine-style printed booklets which contained explicit photos of a child between 7–10 years old, along with sex toys.
Ghetto, who wrote about being on public assistance and supporting welfare fraud, has an online resume that shows he was previously employed as a personal babysitter of a young girl. Ghetto posted multiple videos of him with two young girls on his Instagram.
His resume also lists his job as a photojournalist, but he describes himself on social media as an anarchist “propagandist” and zine creator. He was a member of a far-left artist collective called On The Block Seattle. On The Block is an anarchist group dedicated to “decolonization and liberation.”
On The Block released a statement saying that Ghetto was banned from the group’s spaces and activities “until further community determination.”
“As of this morning, we have confirmed from court documents that GothicGhetto was arrested 4/16/2026 and is being charged with the possession and dealing of depictions of CP [child porn],” the statement read. “Given the severity of these charges, we are acting with urgency and precaution for the safety of our community.”
Some leftist community members refuse to believe the charges and speculate that Ghetto was set up by the government in a COINTELPRO-style conspiracy plot due to his leftist activism.
Ghetto maintained a very active presence online. He celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk, posted photos of himself attending “No Kings” protests, and lionized leftist murder suspect Luigi Mangione.
“I shed no tears or waste feelings on a man what [sic] has excused r*pe, called for violence against the LGBTQ community, and also perpetuated white supremacy propaganda,” Ghetto wrote.
One of his posts depicted Mangione as a saint with the caption, “Make bad people feel unsafe.” He frequently ranted against ICE, advocating for the abolition of all law enforcement.
Ghetto was released from jail to home detention with electronic monitoring, despite prosecutors alleging that he has helped “sexually abused children to satiate deviant interests and therefore has evidenced the threat he poses to community safety, most specifically minor children.”
According to court records, Ghetto was born in the Philippines and claimed to be in the process of obtaining dual U.S. citizenship.
His trial is scheduled for July 8.
Deport to the Phillipines ASAP
The post by Rebekah Marie floored me. I honestly could barely follow the post subject bc of the first grade writing style and the repeated use of the word, "actually," was seriously distracting. How do adults in the greatest country on Earth reach 18 years of age without being able to pen a coherent paragraph? I managed to piece her intent together, but in no first world nation should it be that difficult to determine what someone's point is.
She's clearly a product of public schools run by communist teacher's unions.
