“A bunch of women, when they’re in the showers, these people are just standing there. They don’t have to stand on their tippytoes and they look over and see everything. People were so uncomfortable. You feel kind of like you’ve been violated,” the unnamed prisoner said."
[Mister] Williams, who identifies as a transgender woman, is accused of sexually assaulting [his] female cellmate |
"A former inmate at a Washington state women’s prison was repeatedly sexually assaulted by her hulking transgender cellmate — who was transferred to the prison after changing her gender identity, according to a shocking new lawsuit.
"Mozzy Clark sued the state department of corrections in federal court last week for locking her in a cell with a 6-foot-4 convicted child molester who allegedly subjected her to months of stalking, threats of violence and sexual harassment and assault, according to the lawsuit.
"The cellmate, Christopher Scott Williams, was convicted of sexually assaulting a young girl as a male, and was serving a separate sentence for domestic abuse.
"Williams then petitioned to be recognized as female and be transferred to a women’s prison, according to the lawsuit.
"When the state granted the request and placed Williams in a cell with Clark, the latter’s life became a living nightmare, she alleged.
"State DOC records show Williams is listed as female at the Washington Corrections Center for Women.
"Clark claimed Williams, who slept above her in the top bunk, would threaten to rape her, leer at her in the shower, and constantly ask for sex — once with a homemade dildo he had brought into the cell, according to the lawsuit.
“ 'In their cell, Ms. Clark was on the bottom bunk. Mr. Williams … would hover menacingly over Ms. Clark’s bunk with an erection while touching himself. He would also display his erection to Ms. Clark against her will, and gesture towards it, saying how much he wanted her,” the lawsuit alleged.
“ 'One night, Ms. Clark woke up and saw inmate Williams sitting on the floor next to her bed with his arm under her blanket, rubbing her genitals,” the lawsuit adds.
"Clark said the guards did little to protect her when she complained. Eventually Williams was moved to a separate cell, but the inmate would seek her out, stare at her in the showers, and follow her into the bathroom — making perverted comments from the next stall, the documents alleged." . . .
