A transgender woman who was arrested in San Diego last year was put in a holding cell with three men against her wishes and then beaten up so badly that she suffered a broken jaw, according to a lawsuit.
Kristina Frost alleges in federal court papers that she was a ‘book-and-release’ detainee at San Diego Central Jail in November of last year.
Initially, she was placed in a holding cell alone.
‘She was then moved, without any reasonable justification, and against her wishes, to a minimally monitored cell with three men,’ according to the lawsuit filed last week in US District Court in the Southern District of California.
Frost protested, telling the jailers that her driver’s license and other identifying papers indicated she was a woman.
