A Pitt County, N.C. LGBTQ+ leftist sex offender has been arrested and charged on new child sex crime allegations.
Brett W. Lutz, 29, of Ayden, was charged with three counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, four counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor and two counts of failing to register as a sex offender.
Lutz was arrested by deputies from the Pitt County Sheriff’s Office after an investigation spurred by a cyber tip sent by the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC).
He allegedly was in possession of child sex abuse material. Authorities raided his home on Dec. 4 and confiscated electronic storage devices.
In 2016, Lutz was convicted in New York state for violently raping a 15-year-old boy. He was convicted of first-degree criminal sexual act on a physically helpless victim and sentenced to eight and a half years in prison. During his time in prison in 2020, he sued two corrections officers at Mid-State Correctional Facility for allegedly violating his constitutional rights. The lawsuit was dismissed.
After he was released, he became an advocate for incarcerated individuals and trans activists. But his online footprint shows a troubling history of posts expressing extreme hatred for those on the political right.
In May this year, he responded to a photograph of right-wing influencer Joey Mannarino and his wife by writing: “Scum that needs to be removed from this earth.”
The theme of eliminating Donald Trump supporters continues in his X history.
“Someone should really make these idiots suffer,” Lutz posted in June on X in response to left-wing influencer “JoJo from Jerz” posting a photo of a Trump supporter.
The same month, he posted to an account he thought belonged to Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene: “Marjorie, if I you [sic] could just shut the fuck up and stop being a privileged white bitch we’d all appreciate it. Go suck Donald’s dick some more you tramp.”
Lutz also posted in defense of trans and queer ideology in school curriculums. Elsewhere, he targeted people who advocated for keeping males out of women’s single-sex spaces and sports.
“You and your fear mongering ass hole [sic] colleges [sic] use this unfounded assumption and fear to try and write a narrative that’s not there and paint these individuals as these rapists to which they are not,” Lutz wrote in a screed against the Virginia Attorney General.
Lutz is currently in custody at the Pitt County Detention Center in Greenville, N.C. on a $1 million hold. His next court date is Dec. 18.
