Case Summary

This case is the consolidation of two separate civil actions filed by the same plaintiff, a transgender woman housed at Rogers State Prison in Georgia, a single sex men's facility. The plaintiff was sexually assaulted several times by another prisoner while in both general population and protective custody. On May 17, 2014, she filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging that the Warden, Deputy Warden, and Lieutenant of the prison w…

This case is the consolidation of two separate civil actions filed by the same plaintiff, a transgender woman housed at Rogers State Prison in Georgia, a single sex men's facility. The plaintiff was sexually assaulted several times by another prisoner while in both general population and protective custody. On May 17, 2014, she filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging that the Warden, Deputy Warden, and Lieutenant of the prison were deliberately indifferent to her safety, in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. In the second case, filed {}, again, under Section 1983, she sued other prison employees based on the same allegations. The two cases were consolidated before Judge J. Randal Hall.

The plaintiff is represented by private counsel. The complaint alleged that prison staff conducted a "PREA" intake (that is, an intake related to the Prison Rape Elimination Act), alerting them to the plaintiff's gender identity and presentation. They classified her as neither a PREA victim or threat, and housed her in the general population. Soon after, she was threatened and coerced into performing oral sex on another prisoner housed in the same unit. Due to explicit homophobia on the unit, both the plaintiff and the man who had assaulted her were moved to protective custody, and were housed together in a double occupancy room. While there, the plaintiff was sexually assaulted while being threatened with a razor blade. She asserts that she had put prison staff on notice that she was in danger, and that they had demonstrated deliberate indifference, effectively allowing her to be assaulted.

On August 26th of 2016, the defendants sought summary judgment; it was granted. Judge Hall found that they had not violated any of the plaintiff's constitutional rights, and that they were covered by qualified immunity. 2017 WL 1078646. On appeal, the Eleventh Circuit affirmed on Jan. 6, 2020, issuing an opinion (by Judge Elizabeth Branch) finding that the there had been no constitutional violation, because prison officials were not actually aware of the plaintiff-specific risks of sexual assault, and the general risk (apart from her particular situation) was not significant enough to meet the constitutional test; the court emphasized that the 28 reported incidents of inmate-on-inmate sexual assault in five years at prison, which had population of 1,500 inmates, did not constitute substantial risk of serious harm, as required to support prisoner's deliberate indifference claim. 798 Fed.Appx. 411.

The appellate mandate issued on Feb. 5, 2020. On June 4, 2020, a petition for a writ of certiorari was filed with the United States Supreme Court. On October 5, 2020, the Supreme Court denied that petition.
