Bryan Kohberger, the convicted killer serving four life sentences for the murders of four University of Idaho students, has filed a sexual harassment complaint in prison and asked to be transferred, People reported on Wednesday.
The filing came just days after Kohberger was placed in J-Block at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution.
In handwritten notes dated July 30 and August 4, Kohberger claimed he was facing “minute-by-minute” verbal harassment and explicit threats from other inmates, People reported. Among the incidents he cited was a crude rape threat, along with comments from prisoners saying, “the only a– we’ll be eating is Kohberger’s,” according to People.
Despite his complaints, prison officials denied his transfer request, telling People that J-Block is considered a generally calm unit and that Kohberger “feels safe to remain on tier 2.” People also reported that his new conditions are far harsher than at county jail, with limited showers, restricted outdoor time, and continued exposure to hostile treatment from fellow inmates.
