Arapahoe, who is gay and Native American, had reported receiving homophobic threats from his fellow inmates because of his sexuality.
In a federal court complaint, Arapahoe alleged that two months after he filed the complaint, the prisoner responsible for the threats was transferred into his cell.

The pair were then left unsupervised in the cell for more than two days, with Arapahoe alleging he suffered brutal beatings and multiple rapes during the period.
The ordeal only ended when officers finally transferred Arapahoe, who had injuries to his face and body, to another cell. He was later taken to receive medical treatment.
His cellmate, William Mexican, was sentenced to an additional 10 years in prison after admitting an assault charge over the incident.
Although prison medical records state that said that “inmate [Arapahoe] was raped,” Mexican was not convicted on a rape charge.
The 28 prison guards are now facing charges for not doing there job.
