Washington State Sued Over Alleged Sexual Assault by Transgender Inmate in Women's Prison

A former inmate claims prison officials ignored warnings and failed to protect her from repeated abuse by a biologically male prisoner transferred to a women's facility.

• Mozzy Clark, a former inmate at the Washington Corrections Center for Women, has filed a lawsuit alleging repeated sexual assault by her cellmate, Christopher Scott Williams, a biologically male inmate identifying as female.
• The lawsuit accuses prison officials of ignoring Clark's warnings and complaints about Williams' sexually explicit behavior and threats prior to the assaults.
• Williams, a 6'4” convicted sex offender and domestic abuser, was transferred to the women’s prison after identifying as female but retained male anatomy and a history of violent offenses.
• Clark alleges that officials violated her constitutional rights to safety, privacy, and dignity by housing her with Williams, who she says also harassed other inmates.
• The lawsuit seeks damages and accountability, emphasizing the risks posed by housing biologically male inmates with female prisoners without adequate safeguards.
