CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF — Alyssua Moulton who was in jail last August on burglary charges found out she was pregnant the day she was heading to Montgomery Co. jail.
A little over a week later, she was giving birth to her son in her cell on the toilet by herself.
On Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2024, she filed a lawsuit against the jail medical provider, Miranda Tapp, and Southern Health.
According to the lawsuit, Tapp had a lot of knowledge before she gave birth. Tapp knew Alyssua was on drugs, unaware she was pregnant, couldn't remember her last menstrual cycle and never received an evaluation from a doctor.
The lawsuit added that as a result of the delivery, she suffered a number of injuries including a blood infection and an eye infection.
