The American justice system really is FUBAR
Oklahoma teen Jesse Mack Butler, who plead no contest to brutally raping and strangling two teen girls, walked free without serving a single day in jail, after a judge’s ruling on Monday, Aug. 3.
Butler, the son of a prominent local family, was arrested in March 2025, following a September 2024 investigation into reports of assault by two high-school students in Stillwater, Okla., according to an official report reviewed by PEOPLE.
Butler was 17 years old at the time of his arrest and was first charged as an adult, according to court documents cited by KOCO, before being downgraded to a youthful offender. He was charged with 11 separate counts, including first-degree rape, domestic assault and battery by strangulation, attempted rape in the first degree and rape by instrumentation, per court records.
Butler, now 19, pleaded no contest to 11 counts against him in August 2025. He was facing 78 years in prison for the convictions, but a judge ordered him to perform community service and attend counseling instead
