(DCNF)—A male “transgender” inmate who allegedly sexually assaulted his female cellmate had a long history of violent behavior and serious infractions before Washington state correction officials transferred him to a women’s prison, according to documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
In December 2024, Mozzy Clark filed a lawsuit against the Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC) alleging she was forced to share a cell with Christopher Scott Williams, whom the lawsuit describes as a “6 foot, 4 inch biological male who was known to be a violent, convicted sexual predator,” at Washington Corrections Center for Women (WCCW).
Williams, who still uses a male name, was transferred from a male prison to a women’s prison in 2021, after he began identifying as female. The Washington DOC has a policy that allows inmates to be transferred to a prison that matches their gender identity — how they feel about their sex — rather than their biology.
Williams was convicted of first degree assault and has an earned release date of 2038, according to the Washington DOC.
The DCNF submitted a public records request asking for documentation of reports that Williams had violated correctional facility rules while in prison. The Washington DOC provided the DCNF with Williams’ 98-page prison infraction summary. The summary lists Williams’ infraction reports, the seriousness of the allegation, the outcome of the hearing addressing the allegations and any sanctions imposed for violating prison rules.
The document, which refers to Williams as “female,” spans more than a decade and reveals Williams had a long history of violence and serious violations in male prisons before being transferred to WCCW. The list of serious infractions includes fighting with another inmate, sexual harassment, possessing explicit materials, damaging property and providing false information during an investigation of sexual misconduct. The infractions lead to punishments such as being confined to his cell for days, according to public records.
The DCNF was unable to reach Williams for comment and it appears that he is currently without legal representation.
In July 2011, Williams was sanctioned for sexual harassment and possession of sexually explicit material. He incurred the same infractions in February 2022, the timeframe of Mozzy Clark’s allegations, after his transfer to a women’s prison, according to the infraction summary.
Williams’ final violation in male prison occurred in May 2021, when he was given a sanction of being confined to his cell for 20 days for tampering with a security device. By December 2021, Williams had been transferred to the women’s prison and earned his first infraction there, an unauthorized absence from a required appointment, according to the summary document.
The lawsuit describes how in January and February of 2022, Clark was terrorized by her “fully intact” male cellmate, alleging Williams repeatedly sexually harassed her in the prison cell they shared, said depraved things to her while she showered and sexually assaulted her multiple times, according to the lawsuit.
Clark alleges Williams harassed her with sex toys, stating in that lawsuit that “[a]t night, Mr. Williams would take out various sex toys kept in his cell, and talk at length about how he wanted to use them on Ms. Clark.” The lawsuits notes Williams had a “large bag of sex toys” which was confiscated by prison officials in February 2022.
In February 2022, Williams incurred three serious infractions which included possession of sexuality explicit materials, for which Williams was confined to his cell for 10 days. Williams was also accused of sexual harassment but was cleared of that accusation, according to the summary document.
According to the lawsuit, prison officials regularly ignored or minimized Clark’s reports of the harassment. It wasn’t until Clark filed a Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) complaint against Williams that he was finally removed from her cell, states the lawsuit.
“Even from an outside perspective, the only logical conclusion here is that Mozzy’s complaints were trivialized because the state was more concerned with perpetuating its woke policies than protecting the rights and safety of the women in its custody,” David Pivtorak, Clark’s lawyer, told the DCNF. “It appears that they cared more about prioritizing the feelings of male predators claiming to be the opposite sex than the foreseeable risk of violence to the women who were forced into a confined space with them against their will.”
The Washington DOC told the DCNF that allegations of sexual harassment are a “paramount concern” which are taken very seriously. It also made it clear that its prison housing policies and cellmate assignments are made according to state and federal law.
“State and federal law prescribe where offenders are to be housed. Inside, most have a cellmate, unless placed in temporary administrative segregation or assigned to higher security levels based on a Custody Review Score,” a representative for the Washington DOC told the DCNF.
“We do not improvise our standards of treatment and care. We are an arm of the justice system. We carry out the law, and we also follow it,” said the Washington DOC representative.
Stephen Miller, deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security advisor, recently stated the Trump administration is committed to protecting female inmates by keeping males out of female prisons.
“We are also making clear in our prison system, male prisoners will not be allowed into women’s prisons. The Biden administration promoted prison rape by putting men into female prisons. That is obviously insane, cruel and unacceptable,” stated Miller. “This administration will not allow that.”
Williams still resides in the women’s prison, according to the Washington DOC.

“Eradication Of ‘Female’ As A Legal Category”
Clark’s lawsuit claims the “cruel and unusual punishment of sexual violence” allegedly inflicted upon her in prison was a result of Washington DOC policies.
The Washington DOC published its first transgender policy in February 2020, which allows inmates to be housed according to feelings about their sex, which activists call “gender identity,” rather than their biology.
Policies allowing men to transfer into women’s prison based on their feelings about their sex paves the way for the eradication of “female” as a legal category, Pivtorak explained to the DCNF.
“Taking this to its logical conclusion really means the complete erasure not only of women’s private spaces but the annihilation of ‘female’ as a discernible legal and biological category entirely,” said Pivtorak.
Washington DOC significantly expanded its gender ideology policies in October 2023 when Disability Rights Washington (DRW), a federally-funded nonprofit, announced it had successfully negotiated a settlement with the Washington DOC.
The activist group claimed Washington DOC had violated the rights of disabled transgender inmates by failing to provide them access to medical sex-change procedures and “gender affirming” mental healthcare, according to a press release.
The groundbreaking settlement required Washington DOC to provide inmates with cross-sex surgery, hire additional staff to provide sex-change medical interventions and provide additional gender ideology training for staff. In 2024, the Washington DOC published a toolkit to help gender confused inmates obtain cross-sex hormones, genital surgery and housing.
The DCNF obtained a public records document showing the Washington State DOC spent over $600,000 on transgender medical procedures from 2022 to 2024, with a sharp year-to-year increase. Washington state taxpayers footed the bill for $92,225 of transgender medical interventions in 2022, $203,651 in 2023 and $310,785 in 2024.
The transgender inmate medical claims paid for by the state included anesthesia for genital surgery, anesthesia for the amputation of a penis and silicone breast implants.
Costs of “gender affirming” medical services provided to inmates in the Washington State Department of Corrections.
The settlement requires Washington DOC to designate a “gender-affirming mental health specialist” at each of the state’s eleven major prisons. It also requires DOC to contract with a “gender-affirming mental health community consultant,” described as “a community expert in gender-affirming mental health care,” and hire a “gender-affirming medical specialist” to provide transgender medical interventions to patients at any “Department facility in person or via telehealth services.”
The Washington DOC has a job post for a “gender affirming medical specialist”, stating they will be expected to coordinate “medical care provided to transgender and gender diverse incarcerated individuals statewide, both in person and through telehealth.” The job comes with an annual salary range of $198,648 to $267,228, 25 paid vacation days a year and a requirement to become certified by the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH).
The Washington DOC told the DCNF its agreement with DRW “prescribed new standards for gender-affirming care” for the many sex-change interventions that meet the “standards of medical necessity” for inmates who are insured through the state’s version of Medicaid, Apple Health.
“[Department of Corrections] is a medical provider. We intend to be a high-caliber one,” a representative for the Washington DOC told the DCNF.
“State and federal law govern the services we offer, and our professional staff offer them to the highest standard. It improves the lives of incarcerated individuals to receive comprehensive care, and it serves them to be treated in accordance with the law.”
DRW, which had been in negotiations over the settlement with Washington DOC since 2019, was given $1,500,000 to cover legal fees and costs incurred during the settlement negotiations. It was also given $300,000 annually to ensure the Washington DOC complied with the settlement terms, while the agreement is in effect.
DRW, which has received more than $37 million in federal funds since 1996, according to the Department of Health and Human Services, states on its website that federal funding makes up “a significant portion” of its overall funding.
DRW did not provide the DCNF with a comment regarding the settlement, but did tell the DCNF it did not use federal dollars to fund its work on the Washington DOC settlement.
It’s received multiple grants from the U.S. Department of Education, including a $370,000 grant under the Biden administration which was used to publish a guide instructing transgender Washington DOC inmates on how to legally change their name as part of their “Trans in Prison Justice Project.”
Public records obtained by the DCNF show Washington DOC has been holding monthly “GA” meetings with staff from jails throughout the state, where they discussed how to better provide inmates with “gender affirming services.”

Two Storms, One Harvest
Every food crisis in living memory has been a one-shock event. The 2008 price spike was a commodity bubble. The 2020 shortages were a logistics failure. The 2022 grain scare was a war on one exporter’s ports. Each time, the system bent, adjusted, and recovered, and each time the experts assured us afterward that global markets are simply too big and too diversified to fail.
What nobody in Washington seems eager to discuss is that 2026 is shaping up to be something the modern food system has never actually faced. Two independent shocks, one climatic and one geopolitical, are converging on the same harvest cycle at the same time. Not sequentially. Simultaneously.
Start with the weather. The Pacific Ocean is currently building toward what forecasters now openly call a record event. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center puts the odds of at least a strong El Niño near 88 percent, with roughly two in three odds it reaches “very strong” status, the tier reserved for perhaps three or four events in the entire satellite era. Every major global model now projects a median peak in Super El Niño territory, and most of them project it exceeding the 2015-16 event, which until now held the modern record. Sea surface anomalies were already brushing the super threshold in mid-July, months before these events normally peak. The atmosphere has already shifted into El Niño mode, and the event is forecast to crest in late fall and early winter.
This is not about “climate change.” It’s about the standard cycles of weather, and the cycle we’re currently in is one that has likely devastated societies in the past. We’re better prepared as a society today, but not all Americans are equally prepared.
Serious households have started doing the quiet math on their own. Grocery bills tell part of the story, and the forecast maps tell the rest, which is why long-term food storage has moved from fringe hobby to mainstream line item in the family budget, with established suppliers like Heaven’s Harvest seeing demand from people who five years ago would have rolled their eyes at the idea. That instinct is not paranoia. It is pattern recognition, and the pattern is worth walking through carefully.
Editor’s Note: Heaven’s Harvest IS a sponsor, but the warnings of this article are real and would be written even if we didn’t have a survival food sponsor. With that said, those who take advantage of what they offer can use promo code “Patriot” for 15% off.
The Fertilizer Clock Is Already Running
While the Pacific warms, the second shock has been unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict with Iran turned the world’s most important energy chokepoint into a contested waterway, and the consequences reach far beyond the gas pump. Roughly a third of global fertilizer trade moves through Hormuz, and the disruption sent urea prices up 86 percent year over year by March, with a 53 percent jump in a single month.
The World Bank projects energy prices rising about 24 percent in 2026 and fertilizer about 31 percent. By its own accounting, fertilizer prices ran 35 percent higher in the first five months of this year than the same period last year.
Here is the mechanism the nightly news will not explain. Fertilizer is not a grocery item. It is a time-delayed input. The nitrogen a farmer in Iowa or Punjab could not afford to apply this spring does not show up as a problem this spring. It shows up as a thinner harvest six to twelve months later.
The World Bank’s own food security brief concedes that the effects of reduced applications earlier this season “are likely to become visible only later in harvest outcomes.” Translate that from institutional language into plain English and it means this. The damage is already done, it is already in the ground, and we are simply waiting for it to arrive on the shelf.
Now check the calendar. Six to twelve months from the spring planting season lands us squarely in late 2026 and early 2027. Which is precisely when the strongest El Niño in the instrumental record is forecast to peak, bringing its signature droughts to Southeast Asia, Australia, southern Africa, northern Brazil, and South Asia, the very regions that grow the world’s rice, sugar, and oilseeds.
The World Bank warns openly that a strong El Niño “could disrupt multiple crop belts simultaneously” on top of the conflict-driven input costs. Their baseline projection assumes the Middle East disruptions ease by autumn. What in the last two years of Middle East history suggests that assumption is safe?
The System Has No Slack Left
The comfortable answer is that global markets always adjust. But adjustment requires slack, and the slack is gone. Global cereal production is expected to decline from last year’s records even before El Niño does its work. The UN World Food Programme, hardly a den of right-wing preppers, is calling this the most significant disruption to its supply chains since Covid and the invasion of Ukraine, and its supply chain director put the stakes bluntly.
Today’s supply chain challenges are tomorrow’s hunger crisis.
There is also a political dimension that markets cannot price. When food gets scarce, governments do not behave like economists. They behave like politicians. Export bans, hoarding mandates, and panic buying at the national level turned the modest rice shortfall of 2008 into a global crisis, and analysts are already warning that import-dependent nations are the first dominoes.
The 2015-16 Super El Niño, a far weaker event than what is now forecast, threw tens of millions into food stress across Africa and Asia. This one is projected to be stronger, and it arrives with fertilizer already rationed by price and shipping lanes already contested by missiles.
What Joseph Knew
Scripture does not treat preparation for lean years as faithlessness. It treats it as wisdom delivered in advance to those willing to act on it.
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt.
Joseph did not respond to that warning with a hashtag or a committee. He stored grain during the years of abundance, and when the famine came, Egypt stood while its neighbors begged. The lesson is not that famine is certain. It is that the time to prepare is precisely when preparation still looks optional.
Nobody who filled a pantry in a year of plenty has ever regretted it, and nobody standing in an empty aisle has ever been glad he waited for certainty.
None of this calls for panic, and panic is the enemy of sound judgment anyway. It calls for the same unglamorous prudence our grandparents considered ordinary. Keep some cash margin, know your local growers, and put real food in deep storage while it is cheap and available, because the entire arc of this story is that cheap and available is a closing window.
Families looking for a straightforward place to start can visit Heaven’s Harvest and use promo code Patriot for 15 percent off long-term storable food. The forecasts may yet soften, the strait may yet reopen, and we should pray they do. But hope is a fine thing to hold and a foolish thing to eat.
