(DCNF)—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.”
The DCNF was unable to reach Williams for comment, and it appears that he is currently without legal representation.
“Many women who are in prison are victims of sexual assault, emotional abuse, physical abuse and having men in their spaces can be a very big trigger for them.” – @andreajmew

‘Classified As Male’
Williams was denied a transfer to a women’s prison in November 2019, according to a 116-page custody review summary of his housing and security needs the DCNF obtained through a public records request.
After “considering all options,” a Washington DOC Housing Assignment Review committee did not support Williams’ request to be transferred to a women’s prison in November 2019 due to his “level of past violence towards women.” The committee recommended instead that he be transferred to a single cell in a male prison, documents show.
A series of entries from December 2019 detail how Williams wanted to be transferred to a “non male facility,” claiming he did “not feel safe from Sexual exploitation in Male Facilities” and did not feel safe “being classified as male.”
“Due to ongoing sexual exploitation in Male Facilities she does not feel safe to be housed in Male Facilities and does not feel safe being classified as male,” states the summary document.
In the following months, Williams continued requesting to be transferred to the Washington Corrections Center for Women (WCCW), asking to be “separated from the male populations in accordance with the Violence Against Women Act,” documents show. A corrections officer noted in the custody review summary that Williams did not “support decisions made to house her in a male facility.”
The Washington DOC previously told the DCNF an incarcerated person’s housing situation is determined by their Custody Review Score.
“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,” said the representative for the Washington DOC.
The DCNF previously reported on Williams’ 98-page prison infraction summary, which documents a long history of violent behavior and serious infractions before he was transferred to a women’s prison. The list of infractions of which Williams was found to have violated includes fighting with another inmate, sexual harassment, possessing sexually explicit materials, stealing food, damaging property and providing false information during an investigation of sexual misconduct.
Williams is first referred to as “she” in the custody review summary in a March 2019 note highlighting three serious prison infractions.

Lawfare Changes Prison Policies
The Washington DOC came under scrutiny in 2017 when Disability Rights Washington (DRW), a federally-funded nonprofit and activist group, began an extensive investigation into the treatment of “transgender people with disabilities in DOC,” according to an October 2023 complaint filed by DRW against Washington DOC.
DRW entered into negotiations with Washington DOC in December 2019 “as an alternative to litigation about DRW’s concerns about access to equal and gender-affirming medical care, housing, property, and programming for transgender, intersex, and non-binary people with disabilities,” according to a lawsuit filed in April 2021 against Washington DOC by DRW and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Washington on behalf of several transgender inmates.
In the midst of these negotiations Washington DOC published its first policy specific to “transgender” inmates in February 2020, which allowed inmates to be transferred to a prison that matches their gender identity — how they feel about their sex — rather than their biology.
The Washington DOC told the DCNF its “gender-affirming” housing assignment policy considers “objective criteria” such as the inmates gender identity.
“Regarding our gender-affirming housing, we have developed a comprehensive housing assignment process to determine where an incarcerated individual is housed considering objective criteria that includes their gender identity. If a person identifies as transgender or non-binary, they participate in a thorough mental health assessment, healthcare assessment and facility evaluation,” a representative for the Washington DOC told the DCNF.
“If a person identifies as transgender or non-binary, they participate in a thorough mental health assessment, healthcare assessment and facility evaluation. Several multidisciplinary teams must review all requests for transfer for a final placement determination. Each situation is considered on a case-by-case basis, with a focus on safety both for the incarcerated individual and those who are housed at the facility,” a representative for the Washington DOC told the DCNF.
In accordance with this policy, Washington DOC approved Williams’ request for transfer to the women’s prison in October 2021, as documented by a corrections specialist who noted that she did not “concur” with this plan.
By December 2021, Williams had earned his first infraction, an unauthorized absence from a required appointment, at the women’s prison, according to the infraction summary obtained by the DCNF.
Assault Allegations In Prison
Williams is described as a “6 foot, 4 inch biological male who was known to be a violent, convicted sexual predator” in Clark’s lawsuit. Clark alleges that she was forced to share a cell with Williams at WCCW. Williams is currently serving a sentence for first degree assault and has an earned release date of 2038, according to the Washington DOC.
In January and February of 2022, three months after Williams was granted transfer to a women’s prison, Clark was allegedly terrorized by her “fully intact” male cellmate, the lawsuit claims. Clark alleges Williams repeatedly sexually harassed her in the prison cell they shared and sexually assaulted her multiple times as described in the lawsuit against the Washington DOC.
The case is set to go before a jury in Washington Western District Court on Oct. 26, 2026. Williams does not appear to have filed a denial or answer to Clark’s claims, according to the case docket. Defendants in the case — prison officials and guards — have denied Clark’s allegations in court filings.
A representative from the Washington DOC told the DCNF that while they cannot comment on litigation concerning individual inmates or their specific housing placement decisions, they take allegations of assault seriously.
“We take all allegations of assault seriously. DOC follows the Prison Rape Elimination Act standards for response to reported sexual harassment and sexual assault. If an incarcerated individual claims to have been sexually harassed or assaulted, the alleged perpetrator and the alleged victim are separated so that they are not housed together,” a representative for the Washington DOC told the DCNF.
“It’s unfortunate that the State of Washington would seek to prioritize the personal desires of a male sex offender over the safety and well-being of women in its custody. It shows a cynical and craven submission to a dangerous, fringe ideology that disregards common sense and evidence-based policy to appease a small faction of radical activists,” Pivtorak told the DCNF.
Washington DOC further expanded its gender ideology policies in October 2023 when DRW announced it had successfully negotiated a settlement with the Washington DOC. DRW claimed Washington DOC had failed to “modify policies, practices, and procedures” to accommodate disabled transgender inmates and violated their rights, according to a press release.
DRW 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.
Disability Rights Washington did not respond to the DCNF’s requests for comment.

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.
