Alleged Sex Worker Tied to Adelita Grijalva Scrubs Social Media Accounts

An appointed Tucson councilman and alleged sex worker tied to Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva has scrubbed his social media accounts after members of the public found disturbing images and comments in Councilman Rocque Anthony Perez’s various profiles, including Only Fans, TikTok, Instagram and X (formerly Twitter).

Prior to his immediate and unanimous confirmation to the Tucson City Council, Perez was serving as the Executive Director of The Metropolitan Education Commission (MEC), Adelita Grijalva’s K-12 education foundation that her father, the late Rep. Raúl Grijalva founded in Tucson, Arizona. Perez was hired by the MEC in February, 2024. The foundation receives both public and private funds. Adelita Grijalva currently sits on the board and was recently elected to congress in a special election with 70 percent of the vote.

The Globe received a file of the disturbing images and comments (see below) made by Perez in 2020, but remained visible for years to young students, his employers, and the Tucson City Council until he scrubbed/deleted his accounts earlier this year. The scrubbing of his social media accounts occurred around the time of Perez’s appointment to the city council. The Globe emailed both Perez and Grijalva for comment, but did not receive their respective replies.

In the above posts, Perez promoted sex worker “SophieASlut, who billed herself as the “craziest and filthiest whore in the universe.” Sophie self-administered a fatal overdose of GHB, a known “date-rape” drug in 2023. Under his former @localanthony X account, Perez invites his “big boy” Only Fans subscribers to watch him masturbate, and in a later post (below) he invites boys to “come and count my shots” and “guess how far my shots went.” All of these posts were visible to the public, including students.

In another post with the caption “trying to summon the twink,” Perez promotes an illegal drug used by homosexual men that can involuntarily expand the anus of a young male. A “twink’ is a homosexual, teenage boy as young as 13.

During the 2020 election, Perez, a registered Democrat and the University of Arizona’s Communications Manager for the Office of Inclusive Excellence, used his inclusive communication skills to dox local Trump supporters and threaten elected Republican officials and University of Arizona students. Pima County Republicans provided the receipts, as did his Perez’s social media accounts.

Despite his deranged social media history, Perez was quickly appointed through unanimous consent by the Tucson City Council in May 2025 for a six-month term ending in December. Perez was appointed, not elected.

After the allegations and complaints against Perez surfaced, the MEC was renamed as the Southern Arizona Education Council.

The foundation consists of 24-29 members who are elected city government officials and include county school board members, supervisors and public employees. Their financials are, at best, questionable and admittedly in distress. Although Perez told the city council, prior to his confirmation, that he would step down as Executive Director of Grijalva’s foundation, his name still appears as Executive Director on the Pima County website and is listed as a commission member on the SAEC website. Due to the lack of current financials, it cannot be determined if he is drawing salaries from the foundation and the city council.

After Perez’s social media history was exposed by concerned members of the public, the MEC/SAEC failed to convene its June 2025 meeting due to “lack of quorum.”

As a newly appointed council member, Perez has directed up to $290,000 of public funds to Grivalja’s MEC/SAEC, as reported by AZPM:

There is special emphasis on nonprofits serving youth, education institutions, and food security, according to a Ward 5 statement.

The remaining $290,000 is direct investment, Perez said, which included awards to the Second Sky community center, the Metropolitan Education Commission, Barrio Restoration, education foundations, and various city departments.

Despite the council’s need of applicants for the Ward 5 Tucson city council position to have a background in developing and managing large budgets due to a significant budget deficit, Perez’s junior employment with the University of Arizona and his short stint with the MEC should have caused pause prior to his immediate and unanimous confirmation. Perez’s social media history was certainly available for anyone on the City Council or Grijalva’s K-12 foundation to perform a simple open-source background check to determine if his public persona violated the public’s trust.

Without comment from Perez or Grijalva, the Globe cannot confirm if a background check was performed, but as the internet is forever, the residents and students in Tuscon can continue to apply pressure to the city council and Rep.-elect Grijalva for answers.
