An unstable male pedophile convicted of attempting to kidnap a child is now being housed in a Washington women’s prison, according to a source within the institution.
Khael Aguilar-McNamee, 25, was sentenced on January 23 to 20 months in prison for second-degree kidnapping and third-degree assault related to a 2021 incident in Vancouver, Washington. Aguilar-McNamee had aggressively attempted to kidnap a 5-year-old boy in broad daylight at a local park while the child was playing.
The young boy’s mother, who is deaf, tried to protect her son and intervene in the kidnapping but was unsuccessful. He continued to chase her and her son even after she managed to grab him away. According to an affidavit, Aguilar-McNamee admitted to trying to punch the woman in the face for taking her son back. Police were called by a female bystander who was the only one who attempted to intervene.
When police arrived, they questioned Aguilar-McNamee on his motivations, including asking him if he was sexually attracted to children, to which the predator replied: “Yes.”
Aguilar-Mcnamee’s conviction was handed down December of 2022 after almost one year of court disruptions and attempts to clear Aguilar-Mcnamee as competent to stand trial.
At his very first court hearing, which had been set to take place the day after the incident, Aguilar-McNamee was unable to attend, with a deputy from Clark County Jail sharing that he had become unruly and uncooperative.
The deputy stated Aguilar-McNamee had been “throwing things, including fluids, at a window and refused to get dressed.” Then 24 years old, standing at 5’4” and 245 pounds, Aguilar-McNamee proved difficult to work with from the start of his detention. The hearing he refused to attend was postponed to the following day, and when he did appear in court for the first time it was briefly via Zoom video chat. The jail deputy told the court that the defendant wasn’t clothed and was throwing food at deputies.
Aguilar-McNamee was scheduled for a competency hearing in October and November of 2021. But it wasn’t until months later, in February 2022, that he was finally seen for his competency review.
He did not appear in court again until late March, and was ultimately deemed competent to stand trial. In April 2022, Aguilar-McNamee entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity, and two more competency hearings would take place before McNamee was once again found capable of standing trial and he was convicted in December.
It was not until the end of January of 2023 that his sentence was handed down by the court.
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.
The Washington Department of Corrections (WADOC) currently has Aguilar-McNamee recorded under his birth name, and confirmed his detention at the women’s prison. The media contact at the WADOC provided Reduxx with the most recent file photo of Aguilar-McNamee, one showing the inmate with a full beard and short hair.
The WADOC did not provide Reduxx an answer as to why Aguilar-McNamee had been assigned to the female prison.
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.
