A Kentucky woman in isolated pretrial detention was forced to give birth on a toilet in a Tennessee jail, a lawsuit filed this week alleges.

Alyssia Moulton, 34, is suing Southern Health Partners, the medical provider for the lockup facility in Montgomery County, in federal court — along with several other named and unnamed defendants.

The 65-page lawsuit, inclusive of exhibits, accuses staff of deliberate indifference to the mother’s suffering and medical needs. The filing accuses staff and the medical provider of medical negligence and due process violations. The lawsuit includes the baby as a plaintiff in the case, alleging all the defendants violated his due process rights.

Moulton’s son is identified only as “A.M.” in the filing.
