Jesse Butler was charged on 10 counts — two counts of attempted rape, three counts 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 — in February. The dates of the offenses were throughout 2024. He was 17 when he committed the crimes.

The Office of Juvenile Affairs created a rehabilitation plan and presented it to the judge Monday. The plan included more than 100 hours of community service, a curfew, no social media, daily check-ins and weekly counseling until his 19th birthday. It was approved.
1 year of therapy seems very light for 1 count let alone 10.
I underatand that sending kids to jail is never a fix. However, this seems wrong. Multiple years of required therapy, supervision, no social media, no dating until cleared by a panel of pyschiatrist, and having to sit in on survivors group therapy should ne a starting point.
Not another tragic case of affluenza?!?
Definitely
What young man doesn’t go around doing a little taping in his formative years? Nbd it’s just some rape. Totally normal. Yep. Not strange at all. I’m sure they’re not a danger to anyone.
The court sentenced Butler to 78 years Aug. 25, but as long as he complies with his rehabilitation plan, he will not serve any jail time.
I hope they keep him on a real short leash. This guy should absolutely be in prison.
Going out on a limb here and guessing the guy is white and his family is well off. I’d go check but… we all know I don’t need to.
Family works for Oklahoma State University’s athletics. Football is religion here.
I would’ve done so much murdering and bank robbing at 17 if I’d known I could’ve just said “but I’m not 18, I’m only a child, I don’t know what is right or wrong. Please let me go, I need my mummy” if I could’ve got away with it. I’m such a fool!
You would have? That’s fucked up.
Jesse the rapist Butler?
Just like the rapist, Brock “The Rapist” Turner?
I’m all for charging children as children, the idea of charging a child as an adult is simply abhorrent to me. However, feel like most 17 year olds being charged at 17 year olds would still get a harsher penalty than that…
Damn I got more community service for getting caught with weed at school
Agony of the unrich.
The fuck. I had a sword in my car that I forgot, 20+ years ago, and got more community service. They wanted me in jail for 5 years.
A friend of mine wandered around college campus with a sword sticking out above the backpack. You could see the sword handle from 40 feet away.
WTF
Of course it’s in Oklahoma! At least Ryan Walters was given the boot, but this is beyond the pail even for a backwater state like that
They fired Walters?
He resigned to take a position at an anti-union teachers union. There’s massive conflict of interest concerns, because he was doing things that benefited his new employer while still superintendent.
No Oklahoma Congress critter had the spine to do jack shit about him. Even the investigation into the porn was a joke, the investigators were basically like “what evidence do you want to give us? Let us know when you’d like us to come by!”
No, there were no consequences and he used his public position to get a job with an organization dedicated to destroying education from the outside, after looting state funds to pay his friends state salaries.
Holy shit. We reeeeally need to start voting better, on all levels of government.
Thank you for the info, though. Much appreciated.

Resigned in disgrace I believe after having been caught watching porn in his office.
This is disgusting
