A woman claims she was subjected to a “humiliating strip search” and sexual abuse simply because she was trying to visit her husband in prison … so she’s suing.
Women’s rights attorney Gloria Allred is representing the woman and will be holding a news conference Monday at 11:30 AM PT to announce the lawsuit and reveal details. The alleged victim will also speak about her “shocking and traumatic experience.”
TMZ will be live streaming.
According to Allred … her client went to a California prison for a scheduled family visit with her incarcerated husband, but says she had to undergo a strip search upon arrival.
Then, the woman claims she was taken to a nearby hospital and subjected to an invasive body cavity search of her genital area. She was allegedly X-rayed and given a CT-scan of her body while in handcuffs, as well. The woman claims she did not consent to any of it.
Allred says the invasive search of her client’s vagina and other private parts violated her rights, and claims law enforcement didn’t even find any contraband on or inside her body. However, the woman says she was still blocked from seeing her husband.
More specifics of the case will be disclosed at the news conference.
