A transgender woman convicted of killing her infant filed a handwritten lawsuit against President Trump, claiming his “transphobic hate speech” fueled repeated instances of sexual assault she endured at an all-male prison in Indiana.
Autumn Cordellionè, also known as Jonathan C. Richardson, alleged that the president’s “extremist rhetoric” emboldened her assailants to violently assault and rape her in January shortly after she was transferred from protective custody to Westville Correctional Facility to serve out her 55-year sentence.
She said Trump is “negligent due his alleged knowledge that others may act on his words,” the baby killer scribbled in the 13-page suit filed in the Southern District of Indiana on April 1.
Cordellionè is seeking $3.5 million in damages from the commander in chief.
“President Trump has vowed to defend biological women from gender ideology extremism and restore biological truth to the Federal government,” a White House spokesperson told The Post when asked to comment on the lawsuit.
The Indiana Department of Corrections did not comment on whether Cordellionè was booted from protective custody due to Trump’s executive order mandating federal prisoners be housed in units according to their biological sex.
Cordellionè alleged that prison employees, who are also named in the suit, dismissed her claims of sexual assault — stating that “tax payers” shouldn’t have to pay for her surgery, the complaint showed.
The convicted baby strangler also claimed her assailants mentioned Trump when they attacked her.
“Trump’s president now, and we won’t even get in trouble for f–king you trannies up,” Cordellionè penned in her complaint.
“We’re patriots and even if you tell on us, Trump will pardon us and probably give us a medal.”
Cordellionè detailed “gang affiliated inmates” stabbing her and sexually assaulting her over a four-day period in late January, according to court documents.
She also alleged her Eighth Amendment rights against cruel and unusual punishment was violated.
Cordellionè, who was convicted in 2001 of reckless homicide for strangling her 11-month-old stepdaughter to death, made headlines in February 2024 when she sued an Indian prison chaplain for allegedly refusing her right to wear a hijab before rejecting her identity as a transgender woman.
