Here's the latest inmate at Washington Corrections Center for Women.

He attempted to kidnap a 5-year-old child, admitted that he was sexually attracted to children, and is unstable and violent. And he seems at some point to have claimed he's transgender.

Disturbingly, Aguilar-McNamee appears to have been sent to serve his 20-month sentence in a women’s prison.

A source at the Washington Corrections Center for Women (WCCW) has informed Reduxx that Aguilar-McNamee was transferred into the institution directly from his trial holding at the Clark County Jail, and expressed concern for the safety of the female inmates Aguilar-McNamee is now being housed with.

“I think it’s important to note that [men] like Khael who transfer straight from county have not been through a men’s facility … so they have done no treatment and have had little mental health care,” the source, who wishes to remain anonymous, explained.

“They are basically coming in [to a woman’s facility] without anyone having addressed their deviancy issues or violence towards women which are often the issues surrounding their conviction.” 

Aguilar-McNamee’s history of claiming a transgender status is very sporadic and unclear. The news coverage of the 2021 attempted kidnapping uniformly refers to him as a male using he/him pronouns. Court documents similarly identified him as male. However, the source at WCCW stated Aguilar-McNamee sometimes uses the name “Thalia,” leading Reduxx to learn about a 2014 case at the Cowlitz District Court where Aguilar-Mcnamee appears to have been tried under the name Thalia Alaxandra.

He's in good company:

Aguilar-McNamee is just the latest male to be housed at the Washington Corrections Center for Women. A source with close contact within the facility has turned over the names of at least eight male inmates who were housed or transferred to the prison. Among them are men with extensive histories of sexual or physical violence towards women.

In December of 2022, Reduxx revealed that a rapist had been quietly transferred to WCCW. Brett David Sonia, who also goes by the name Brooke Lyn Sonia, was convicted in 2005 and 2006 on dozens of charges related to the sexual exploitation of a young girl.

The source advised Reduxx that Sonia had reportedly been boasting to female inmates that he identified as a “man,” and frequently changed his gender identity.

Another male inmate at WCCW is serial killer Donna Perry, who murdered at least three women within a four-month timeframe in 1990. Despite only being convicted on three bodies, Perry once claimed to a cellmate that he had killed nine women total, and had targeted them specifically because he was jealous of their reproductive capabilities.
