A trans-identifying 25-year-old man who sat on a taxpayer-supported youth board has been arrested and charged with the first-degree rape of a 6-to-7-month-old baby girl.
William Kelso Flournoy IV, who goes by “Isabelle” or “Izzy” and presents as a woman on social media, was charged Monday in Pierce County Superior Court in Washington with rape of a child and sexual exploitation of a minor. He pleaded not guilty. Court Commissioner Barbara McInvaille set bail at $1 million.

The charges stem from a horrific incident in 2023. Flournoy and his then-girlfriend had been invited to live with a struggling family in a Tacoma motel. The child’s father told police that both parents were working two jobs and had asked Flournoy to babysit. A Google CyberTip later flagged a photo uploaded to the platform showing Flournoy on his knees, penetrating the infant. Tacoma police identified him through an IP address and two distinct moles visible on his hands in the image. The baby’s father confirmed the victim was his daughter.
When agents from the FBI’s Missing and Exploited Children Task Force arrested Flournoy on March 5 at a transient housing facility on Portland Avenue, they found a baby’s pacifier, a stuffed animal, and a child’s drinking cup in his room. Investigators noted an apparent interest in infantilism.
Flournoy had previously listed his job on Facebook as “Youth Action Board at The REACH Center” from September 2022 through at least June 2023. The Youth Action Board is a youth-led group that gives input to Pierce County government on policies affecting homeless and housing-unstable young people. The REACH Center coordinates the board and hosts its meetings.
The center’s director of youth and young adult services, Carlos Garcia, confirmed to local media that Flournoy was never a REACH staff member and had not been involved with the board since October 2023. Garcia said the organization has “strict safety, reporting, and confidentiality policies” but declined further comment, citing privacy concerns.
The Daily Wire reached out to Nyia Harris, the Youth Action Board outreach representative, who said in a phone call, “I actually have no comment on behalf of the organization.”
Flournoy also faces a separate July 2024 case accusing him of possessing and dealing in child sexual abuse material. That charging document describes additional files on his Google account, including a video of him masturbating on the steps of a youth homeless shelter in Tacoma and “voyeuristic-style” photos of clothed females ages 12-18. Investigators noted six other CyberTip reports tied to his accounts.
Local media outlets covering the arrest referred to Flournoy with female pronouns. He is a male.
Tacoma police spokesperson Officer Shelbie Boyd said the investigation remains active: “The lead detective is actively investigating this case and continuing to run down all leads, including reviewing locations where the arrestee may have prior history.”
A defense attorney for Flournoy was not listed in court records as of Wednesday. The case is ongoing.
