Comments: According to official documents, in 1984 Mitchell A. GAFF (then 26 years old), broke into an Everett home and sexually assaulted two unknown girls ages 14 and 16. Once inside the home GAFF found a steak knife in the kitchen and found the 14 year old girl asleep on the couch. While holding a knife to her throat, he gagged her, threatened to kill her, and bound her hands and neck after placing a pillowcase over hear head. GAFF then located the 16 year old girl in her bedroom. She was similarly threatened, gagged, bound, and a tee shirt was secured over her head. GAFF raped both sisters in numerous ways and threatened to abduct them, rape them again, and kill them. While raping the 16 year old girl, he described to the 14 year old what he was doing. The 16 year old reported GAFF shocked her genitals with an electrical cord, at which time she kicked GAFF in the groin. At this time her sister broke free and ran to a neighbor. GAFF fled the house naked, but was arrested after both girls identified GAFF in a photographic line up. GAFF was found guilty of two counts of Rape 1st Degree and Burglary. GAFF was sentenced to 21 years in prison for the Rapes, Burglary, and probation violations (from a 1979 Burglary and Assault 2nd conviction). In 1979, GAFF assaulted an unknown 29 year old female as she was putting a lawn mower in the shed at an Everett residence. She said GAFF confronted her from behind and told her to get down on her knees. She saw that GAFF had a pistol pointing at her and at one point struck her in the head with the handgun. GAFF threatened to kill her if she did not cooperate. GAFF placed adhesive tape around her wrist. When the victim saw that GAFF had put the gun down, she began to fight, scratch him, and pull his hair. GAFF pulled a hunting knife telling her he was going to kill her for resisting and slashed the palm on her right hand. The victim told GAFF she would stop resisting, but escaped when GAFF reached over to pick up his gun. Police apprehended GAFF a short distance from the assault. GAFF was found guilty of Assault 2nd Degree and Burglary While Armed with a Deadly Weapon. GAFF was given five years probation. GAFF was civilly committed as a sexually violent predator after completing his prison sentence. This current notification is being done, because GAFF has been authorized by a Judge to leave the Secure Commitment Center (SCC) on McNeil Island and reside at the Secure Community Transition Facility (SCTF) on McNeil Island which has less supervision. GAFF will be escorted when he leaves his secure housing and is also on community supervision through the Department of Corrections (DOC). GAFF disclosed in treatment that he would regularly stalk and attack women by groping them. GAFF also disclosed five other rapes he committed. One occurred when he was 20 years old and raped a young woman who had passed out. A few months later, GAFF raped another 17 or 18 year old girl who was semi-conscious at a party. The third rape involved a physical abduction of a girl he had seen a few times. GAFF dragged her to his vehicle, raped her, and pushed her into the cold night. During the forth rape GAFF was armed with an eight inch knife and went into a house. GAFF gagged the woman, tied her hands, and raped her numerous ways. The fifth rape occurred when GAFF followed a teenage girl who was on her way to school. GAFF grabbed her from behind, forced her to a location between two buildings, threatened her, and raped her. Due to GAFF's sexual criminal history he has been classified as a level 3 Sex Offender. This allows the Pierce County Sheriff's Department to disclose relevant, necessary and accurate information to the public at large.
