Showing Original Post only (View all)Oklahoma rapist Jesse Mack Butler sentenced to counseling, no jail time [View all]
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPxUICgjEuY/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==Jesse Mack Butler, 18, from Stillwater, about an hour north of Oklahoma City, escaped prison time after pleading no contest to multiple rape and assault charges.
Why Jesse Butler isnt going to prison
In March, when Butler was 17, he was charged, as an adult, with 10 felony counts related to sex crimes against two girls, both fellow students at Stillwater High School. One of the girls was choked unconscious and almost died, according to her doctor.
Butlers charges included two attempted rapes, three charges of rape by instrumentation, one count of sexual battery, one count of forcible oral sodomy, two counts of domestic assault and battery by strangulation and one count of domestic assault and battery.
Butler pleaded not guilty to all charges, and the district attorneys office struck a deal with Butlers lawyers to change his status from adult to youthful offender. The victims families begged the D.A. not to do that, but in July, a judge signed off on the accord. In August, Butler changed his plea from not guilty to no contest.

He will be on an Investigation Discovery show in a couple years as a rapist that should have been imprisoned.

He'll be back in front of a different judge within 2 years. He has a taste for sexual perversion and won't stop.
