“One night, Mrs. Clark awoke to find Inmate Williams sitting on the floor next to her bed with his arms under her blanket, rubbing her genitals.”
Eventually, Williams was moved to a separate cell, but he allegedly started looking for Clark-Sanchez while she was showering or in the bathroom and made perverted comments from the next cubicle.
“He also began threatening her with violence if she complained about him again,” the complaint alleges.
It further alleges that prison officials ignored Clark-Sanchez’s concerns and discouraged her from filing official complaints.
The lawsuit also alleges that officials were aware of Williams’ previous sexual assault of a former female cellmate.
The prison enforced a policy that Clark-Sanchez said violates the constitutional rights of female inmates — including by housing biologically male inmates with known histories of violence and sex crimes in women’s facilities.
Arrest reports obtained by the National Review show that at the age of 16, Williams sexually assaulted her nine-year-old sister by rubbing her buttocks and vaginal area on her clothing.
She was arrested in 2006 and charged with first-degree child molestation and pleaded guilty to third-degree assault with sexual motivation.
“Chris said he knew what he was doing was wrong, but there was nothing he could do about it,” the police report allegedly read.
‘He said his hormones were kicking in. Chris said (the child) was wearing jeans and a T-shirt.”

In a follow-up interview with police, Williams’ father said she had first abused her sister three years earlier, when the girl was just six years old.
Williams was subsequently convicted in 2009 and 2010 for failing to register as a sex offender.
In June 2012, Williams allegedly assaulted her friend, and just a few months later in September, Williams was accused of assaulting a male prison guard.
“Williams stopped when he heard (the officer) ‘screaming like a little baby,’” according to a probable cause statement obtained by National Review.
“He described (Officer) Barrett’s screams ‘like a death scream.’
The officer’s injuries included damage to his ear, which had to be cut open to relieve swelling, broken bones under his right cheek that required extensive stitching, a knocked-out tooth and a nose that was so severely damaged that emergency surgery was required to repair it. to be reconstructed, the outlet reports.
She was subsequently convicted of second-degree assault.
Clark-Sanchez is now seeking damages for emotional distress, humiliation and violations of her constitutional rights under the First, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments.
The Washington State Department of Corrections referred KIRO to its Transgender Housing Policy when asked for comment.
In the policy, an editor wrote, “The Washington State Department of Corrections strongly emphasizes the importance of inclusion and representation by recognizing the unique challenges faced by non-binary and transgender incarcerated people.”
The department further said its policy “establishes procedures to ensure fair treatment of transgender, intersex and/or gender non-binary people during intake screening and housing determinations, classification, programming and supervision.”
‘All people under the care and guardianship of DOC are assessed upon admission as to whether they self-identify as transgender, intersex and/or gender non-binary. The policy provides detailed guidelines for placement and programming.
“DOC has developed a comprehensive housing assignment process to determine where an incarcerated individual will be housed, taking into account objective criteria, including their gender identity.”
“If a person identifies as transgender or non-binary, he or she participates in a thorough mental health assessment, health care assessment, and facility evaluation. Multiple multidisciplinary teams must review all transfer requests for a final placement determination.”
The spokesperson said each application is assessed “on a case-by-case basis,” taking into account the safety of the individual and anyone else “housed in the facility.”
“It is the DOC’s position that an individual’s right to safe and humane treatment does not change based on their gender identity,” the department said.
