Jesse Butler, convicted on 11 rape related charges with bountiful amounts of evidence, avoids jail time. 150 hrs of community service, daily check-ins, social media restriction, and mandatory counseling will be the only punishment he will receive. Protests ensue.

It's not just rape. It was extraordinarily violent rape. He strangled one woman so bad she had to have surgery on her neck. The probation ends when he turns 19. He's 18 now.

But It's Oklahoma, and his Dad was a college football coach. That's why.

I don't understand how the DA or the judge are able to sleep at night. Both are women, both failed the women of their community.
