Multiple biological male inmates who identify as women have sexually exploited female residents at the Washington Corrections Center for Women.

One transgender inmate in particular, who goes by “Jazzy” was accused of sexual assault in multiple complaints filed with prison staff by female inmates. In one case, a female inmate woke up in bed to find Jazzy with an obvious erection “touching her all over.”

After the woman reported the sexual abuse to prison staff, the male inmate transfer accused her of being “homophobic” and of “gaslighting.”

WCCW often dismissed females’ claims of sexual assault against transgender perpetrators, in some cases penalizing them, rather than the aggressor, for crying wolf on prison rape, the inmate said.

The woman assaulted by “Jazzy” was penalized for filing a “fake claim” of prison rape and was isolated. But “Jazzy” didn't receive so much as a reprimand.

Scott Fleming, a former corrections officer at WCCW, previously told National Review that some male offenders take advantage of the transgender transfer policy just so they can be housed with women.

“When she asked Jazzy how he had managed to keep his male anatomy a secret from WCCW, Jazzy laughed snidely, the inmate said.

He explained to her that he pretended to cry to get out of the examination, accusing the prison staff of prejudice.”

“Some of the men were overt in their attempts to seduce the women, but corrections officers rarely noticed, she said. Jazzy, for instance, primed the girl he eventually assaulted for weeks ahead of the assault.”

“The inmate also corroborated the former prison guard Fleming’s claim that former female inmate Heather Trent was sexually abused by transgender woman Princess Zoee Marie Andromeda Love, formerly known as Hobby Bingham.”

“Andromeda-Love often bragged around the prison that he would make a ‘million-dollar baby’ with females at the facility, Fleming said, and the inmate confirmed.”

“There was at least one incident of sexual abuse by a female prisoner who identified as male at WCCW, according to the inmate. Trent was also allegedly raped by a transgender prisoner nicknamed ‘Ziggy,’ a biological female who transitioned to a male when she was young.”

“Trent allegedly told the inmate that she didn’t ‘want to do it’ but that Ziggy told her she ‘loved’ her and was going to marry her. Trent said that Ziggy warned her not to tell a corrections officer or else they couldn’t get married.”

“The inmate told National Review that she was personally assaulted by a different male transgender inmate. The transgender inmate had been taken off hormones after being admitted into the prison, which made him sexually aggressive”

“When asked for comment about its knowledge of these cases, the Washington DOC claimed none were registered in the system.”

“The inmate said these cases are likely the tip of the iceberg. Many of the victims are accustomed to abuse by the time they’re incarcerated, making them less likely to report it.”

“There are so many issues with predatory individuals who are transgender male to female or female to male. A lot of women don’t realize they’re victims because they were in prostitution or sexually abused. The ones who do stand up for themselves get prosecuted or segregated.”
