Amber Danielle Thorrden filed a federal suit against the state’s Department of Corrections on Tuesday, claiming she is no longer safe at an all-male prison.
Thorrden, 41, says the constitutional rights in the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments should legally allow her to be transferred to Coffee Creek Correctional Facility in Wilsonville. In the complaint to the DOC, she says her situation warrants a move because Snake River is “failing to protect her from harm,” and that she has been denied “equal protection” and “protection from discrimination.”
[Dobbs] was convicted of multiple counts of second degree rape and first degree sexual abuse in 2015 for sex with a minor. While in prison, Dobbs transitioned to identify as a woman.
For those without access to the story. I hope that it does become available because there is a very interesting embedded link to the civil case.
