A convicted male sex abuser who now identifies as a woman has filed a lawsuit claiming that being listed on the Wisconsin state sex offender registry is a form of cruel and unusual punishment that violates his Eighth Amendment rights and prohibits him from exercising his “right to self-expression as being a female.”
The man, identified only as “Ella” in court documents, was adjudicated delinquent in Shawano County after he pinned down a half-blind autistic boy and sexually assaulted him in 2016.
Department of Corrections records indicate “Ella” was 6-foot-5 and weighed 345 pounds at the time; the boy was 5-foot-10 and weighed 110 pounds.
