A former Oklahoma State University student has reached a $2.55 million settlement with the City of Stillwater after filing a federal civil rights lawsuit over what her attorney described as a degrading and unlawful strip search inside the Stillwater City Jail.
The settlement resolves claims brought by Claire Hosterman, who alleged jail staff forcibly stripped her naked after her arrest in September 2022. According to court filings and video evidence cited in reporting by The Oklahoman, personnel left Hosterman naked in a holding cell for more than an hour after the incident.
