Bob Ferguson is the most unpopular Washington state governor in his first six months in more than 30 years, with fewer than one-in-three registered voters giving him “excellent” or “good” marks, according to a recent poll.
The Democrat may be headed for even worse poll numbers in the wake of a new reported assault against a female inmate by a male inmate with a documented history of physical and sexual assault of both adult and child females, in and out of prison, whose placement in a women’s facility is possible under a gender identity policy Ferguson championed.
America First Policy Institute threatened to sue the Washington Department of Corrections and Washington Corrections Center for Women in an Aug. 13 letter if they do not “take immediate and concrete measures to protect the females in your custody” by revoking the “Transgender Inmate Policy and immediately removing all biological males from the facility.”
It posted a recording of the unidentified female inmate describing the alleged Aug. 7 assault by six-foot-four-inch Christopher Scott Williams, who reportedly pleaded guilty to “third-degree assault with sexual motivation” as a 16-year-old on his 9-year-old sister and was subsequently twice convicted for failing to register as a sex offender.
“She is an entire foot shorter than the male who attacked her,” AFPI senior attorney Leigh Ann O’Neill told Just the News, describing Williams’ accuser. O’Neill said the recording was edited down from “around 20 minutes” to just the portions where the female inmate “describes what happened” with Williams.
The Daily Caller News Foundation reported July 1 that Williams had been inexplicably transferred back to a male prison June 20, but the same inmate tracking system for victims now shows Williams – identified as female – was back in WCCW as of July 10.
AFPI’s letter traces the brief removal to a lawsuit alleging Williams repeatedly violated his female cellmate Mozzy Clark three years ago, as documented in her ongoing lawsuit against the state, DOC and several officials.
