Ohio Teen Tasered After Alleged Midway Assault on Transgender Woman at Cedar Point; Six Flags Bans Guest for Life

Overview

• The assault occurred on May 26, 2026, when police say 18-year-old Marquez Williams approached a transgender woman on Cedar Point’s crowded midway and pulled down her skirt and underwear, exposing her to bystanders.
• A witness chased the fleeing suspect to the park entrance, flagged security, and officers pursued him into the parking lot where an officer deployed a Taser after Williams ignored commands to stop.
• Williams was taken to a hospital for a brief evaluation, booked into the county jail, posted 10 percent of an $8,000 bond and later returned home and participated in his high school graduation.
• At a June 3 arraignment in Sandusky Municipal Court Williams pleaded not guilty to revised charges after prosecutors dropped public indecency, kept counts for persistent disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and obstruction, and added a first-degree misdemeanor theft charge; a pretrial hearing is scheduled in the coming weeks.
• Six Flags issued a lifetime ban from all its parks and Judge Michael Kaufman incorporated that ban into Williams’s bond conditions, a move that enforces corporate discipline through the court and intensifies debate about guest safety, anti‑transgender targeting and how institutions respond while cases remain pending.
