Mississippi state trooper Ivana Williams, fired for sharing video of lesbian romp with colleagues, sues her department over ‘rampant’ sexual harassment

A state trooper fired for allegedly recording a lesbian romp and sharing it with colleagues has filed a lawsuit claiming she was the victim of “rampant and unchecked sexual harassment” throughout her career in the force.

Ivana Williams, 37, claims the harassment started from the moment she started her training until the day she was fired.

In her lawsuit, exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com, Williams catalogs a series of alleged harassment and discrimination she claims she suffered even before joining the Mississippi Highway Patrol’s “boys club” in 2018.

Among her allegations, she says that as a cadet, her instructors told her to jump up and down so male cadets could ogle her breasts and buttocks.

They also “separated her from all the other cadets and then moaned in a sexual manner to show their approval” about her appearance, she claims.

They made sexually suggestive comments to her, patted her on the buttocks in front of male cadets and soldiers and “forced her to lie down and smile at them in a sexual manner,” she claims.

Things only got worse when she graduated and joined the highway patrol, she claims in the lawsuit filed in federal court in the Southern District of Mississippi.

She says she was repeatedly denied entry into the Special Operations Group despite being fully qualified – eventually giving up after one member of the group demanded: ‘Show me your tits’ and another invited her to his hotel room.

She then set her sights on joining the Highway Patrol motorcycle team, but was told that wasn’t possible because it was strictly a “boys club.”

Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com after her sacking last year, Williams insisted she would never have been sacked if she were a man.

“It’s that simple,” she said. ‘I’ve worked with 95 percent of them men and I know all their dirty secrets.

“Many of them have done much worse and got nothing more than a slap on the wrist. But I don’t have to come out with all that to clear my name.’

A DailyMail.com investigation last year uncovered a litany of outrageous behavior allegedly committed by male officers of the MHP.

The ex-state trooper claims state troopers told her the motorcycle unit was strictly a “boys’ club.”

She claims the harassment started during her training, when her instructors told her to bounce up and down so the male cadets could ogle her breasts and buttocks.

Among them is a Master Sergeant who recorded himself having sex with a woman on a state-issued cell phone, a case Williams cited in her dismissal appeal.

Another recorded his wife having sex with another man, and a third was caught engaging in a sex act with a male truck driver while on duty.

Williams, owner of this gun shop in Brandon, Mississippi, has appealed her firing, claiming she would not have been fired if she had been a man.

An insider told DailyMail.com that there have been multiple occasions when troopers have allegedly received and shared nude photos.

Williams was released last January for showing the videotape of her sexual encounter with Highway Patrol Administrative Assistant Brynne Fisackerly to fellow troopers.

Fisackerly, 39, a divorced mother of two, is suing in federal court, claiming Williams performed sex acts on her when she was so drunk that she could barely remember the night that she had sex with her without her consent. had recorded it on video and that she shared the footage with other troopers.

An internal investigation following her naming in Fisackerly’s complaint accused Williams of viewing pornography on her state-issued phone and having an open can of beer in her patrol car.

For her part, Williams, who has more than 100,000 followers on social media, has strongly denied all allegations against her.

She also claims that her superiors made sexually suggestive comments, patted her on the buttocks in front of male cadets and soldiers and “forced her to lie down and smile at them in a sexual manner.”

Williams described the video that got her fired as “consensual” and said she shared it with one person with the other participant’s consent

She has characterized the sex tape as consensual, stating that she did not distribute the footage as an accused, but only shared it with her then-lover, a married former officer, and only with the consent of her accuser. She says it has since been deleted from his phone.

According to Williams, who appealed her firing in February, her firing was in retaliation in response to a complaint she filed with the Department of Public Safety in January.

She filed her complaint after a transfer from Rankin County, where she lives, to Bolivar County. The transfer, which occurred after Fisackerly filed her lawsuit, was done without explanation and left the single mother of four 100 miles away from her home and children.

Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com when the sex tape story first broke, Williams said: “What I have been accused of is simply not true. There was no attack and if there is a video going around, where is it?

“I know the truth and I am confident that if this goes to trial, I will win and get my job back.”

She said she couldn’t respond beyond describing the situation as, “she said/she said.”

Fisackerly is now suing Williams in federal court, seeking $11 million in damages.

In addition to her newly filed sexual harassment case, Williams has countersued, seeking $20 million for the damage she claims the allegations have caused to her reputation and business relationships.
