Jonathan C. Richardson

Also known as Autumn Cordellioné, Jonathan C. Richardson is a transgender inmate currently serving a 55-year sentence for the reckless homicide of his 11-month-old stepchild in Indiana. Recently, he has been in the news due to a lawsuit he filed against former President Donald Trump, alleging that Trump's 'transphobic' rhetoric contributed to a series of assaults he experienced while incarcerated. Cordellioné is seeking $3.5 million in damages, claiming that the hostile environment created by political discourse has endangered his safety and violated his constitutional rights.
