Michael Quinones
Michael Quinones, often referred to as 'Mike Q', was a controversial figure and the leader of a rogue Alcoholics Anonymous group known as Midtown, which operated in the Washington D.C. area during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Described by former members as having cult-like control over their lives, Quinones was accused of manipulating vulnerable young people, including pressuring them into inappropriate relationships. His leadership style and the environment he fostered at Midtown have drawn severe criticism, leading to allegations of sexual exploitation and coercive control before his death in 2007.
