‘Trans’ Inmate Back in Male Prison Years After Allegedly Raping Female Cellmate

A violent “transgender” male prisoner was quietly transferred back to a men’s prison in June, years after he was accused of sexually assaulting his female cellmate in a women’s prison.

Christopher Scott Williams, who is serving a 28-year sentence for first degree assault, was first denied transfer to a women’s prison in November 2019 due to his history of violence against women, according to records obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. His request to be housed with women was approved in late 2021, documents show, and three months later he allegedly sexually assaulted his female cellmate, Mozzy Clark, according to a lawsuit she filed against the Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC).

Clark alleges the state’s actions of placing a “male sexual predator” into her cell and then ignoring her “complaints of sexual harassment and assault” violated several of her constitutional rights, including her right to be free of cruel and unusual punishment and exercise free speech, the lawsuit says.

“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, as it did in this case,” David Pivtorak, Clark’s lawyer, told the DCNF.

Williams was transferred back to a male prison on June 20, 2025, according to the Washington DOC, which lists his gender as female on its website.

For privacy reasons, the Washington DOC was unable to comment on why Williams was placed back in a men’s facility. A spokesperson told the DCNF incarcerated individuals “are often transferred to other facilities, sometimes temporarily, for a variety of reasons like medical treatment, programming needs, or security reasons.”
