Trans Inmate with History of Violence Against Women, Sent Back to Men’s Prison After Alleged Sexual Assault on Cellmate

Christopher Scott Williams, a biological male inmate who identifies as transgender, was transferred back to a men’s prison on June 20, 2025, nearly four years after being placed in a Washington women’s correctional facility where he was later accused of raping his female cellmate.

Williams is currently serving a 28-year sentence for first-degree assault, as reported by The Independent Journal Review.

According to documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF), the Washington Department of Corrections (DOC) initially denied Williams’ request to transfer to a women’s prison in November 2019 due to his “level of past violence towards women.”

The department’s Housing Assignment Review committee recommended he instead be placed in a single cell at a male facility. Despite that recommendation, Williams’ transfer to the Washington Corrections Center for Women (WCCW) was approved in October 2021.

Just three months after the transfer, inmate Mozzy Clark alleges she was sexually assaulted by Williams, who was housed in the same cell.

Clark’s lawsuit, filed against the Washington DOC, claims the agency knowingly placed her in a cell with a “male sexual predator” and then failed to act on her complaints of harassment and assault.

Clark’s attorney, David Pivtorak, told the DCNF:

“Based on Williams’ past history of violence and the explicit recommendation that he not be transferred to a women’s facility, it was not only reasonably foreseeable but extremely likely that locking him in a small cell with a female inmate would have disastrous consequences.”

The Washington DOC lists Williams as female on its public inmate database.

A department spokesperson told the DCNF that inmate transfers occur for various reasons, including medical needs, programming, or security, but declined to comment on the reason for Williams’ transfer due to privacy policies.

Records show that Williams had an extensive disciplinary history before his transfer to the women’s facility, including infractions for sexual harassment, fighting, theft, and providing false information during investigations into sexual misconduct.

Williams was first referred to as “she” in DOC documents in early 2019. Internal notes also recorded his repeated requests for transfer to a “non-male” facility, citing fears of sexual exploitation in male prisons and claiming protections under the Violence Against Women Act.

In 2020, following negotiations with Disability Rights Washington (DRW) and the ACLU, the Washington DOC introduced a policy allowing inmates to be housed according to gender identity rather than biological sex.

That policy was expanded through a settlement agreement in 2023. As part of the agreement, DRW was awarded $1.5 million in legal fees and $300,000 annually to monitor DOC compliance.

The DOC stated that housing placement decisions are made on a case-by-case basis and include mental health and security assessments. “We take all allegations of assault seriously,” a DOC representative told the DCNF.

“If an incarcerated individual claims to have been sexually harassed or assaulted, the alleged perpetrator and the alleged victim are separated.”

Clark’s case is scheduled to go to trial in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington on October 26, 2026. Williams has not filed a response to the allegations. DOC officials named in the lawsuit have denied Clark’s claims.
