A Washington state woman has filed a federal lawsuit alleging that her former cellmate, a biological male and “violent, convicted sexual predator,” repeatedly assaulted her while they shared a cell in a women’s prison.

The accused, 35-year-old Christopher Scott Williams, who identifies as female but has not legally changed his name, was transferred to the Washington Corrections Center for Women (WCCW). The lawsuit claims that prison officials ignored the risks of placing “a fully intact biological male” with a violent sexual history in close quarters with female inmates, Fox News reports.

This is 6’4 convicted child m*lester Christopher Scott Williams who pretends to be a woman. He was placed in a women’s prison in Washington where he allegedly s*xually assaulted his cellmate, Mozzy Clark.

Mozzy is now suing the State Dept of Corrections.

The plaintiff, Mozzy Clark, accuses Williams of molesting her while she slept, making explicit threats, and engaging in other disturbing behavior. In her civil complaint, Clark alleges that prison officials violated her constitutional rights and subjected her to cruel and unusual punishment, the New York Post reports.

“Prison officials knowingly placed my client in harm’s way, disregarding her safety and basic human rights,” said Clark’s attorney, David Pivtorak. “This lawsuit seeks to hold the Department of Corrections accountable for policies that enabled the victimization of women in their custody.”

Clark described her time at WCCW as “a nightmare,” stating, “I lived in constant fear, knowing that those who were supposed to protect me not only ignored my pleas for help but enabled my abuser.”

Williams, listed as an inmate at WCCW, has a criminal history that includes molesting a family member, assaulting a male guard in a men’s prison, domestic abuse, and failing to register as a sex offender. According to the lawsuit, despite being removed from Clark’s cell, Williams continued to stalk her throughout the prison.

The Department of Corrections has not commented on the pending litigation. Clark’s legal team is seeking accountability for policies they argue jeopardized the safety of female inmates by allowing such transfers.
