Backlash is intensifying in Oklahoma after a teenager accused in a series of violent sex assaults avoided prison time, prompting swarms of people to protest outside a courthouse amid renewed scrutiny of how the justice system handled the case.
Images show more than a hundred people gathering outside the Payne County Courthouse Wednesday carrying signs demanding justice after 18-year-old Jesse Butler avoided prison under Oklahoma’s youthful offender law, The Oklahoman reported.
“Ponca Tribal Victim Services is standing in solidarity with survivors demanding Justice!,” the organization wrote in a post on Facebook. “Jesse Butler needs to be held accountable! Payne county Judge Susan Worthington should be disbarred.”
The demonstrations followed days of anger online and in the community after Butler, who pleaded no contest to multiple sex assault charges, received a 78-year sentence that was suspended under Oklahoma’s youthful offender law, allowing him to remain free if he completes court-ordered rehabilitation.
A spokesperson for Stillwater Public Schools told Fox News Digital that staff had met with police last week to prepare for possible protests, designating areas for demonstrators and media and placing extra officers on campus “out of an abundance of caution.”
“We condemn sexual assault and violence in all its forms,” the school district shared in a statement. “Our thoughts, prayers and hopes for justice are with the victims in our community and everywhere.”

The courts would not be involved if the ‘justice’ is administered properly. Remember to observe the three ‘S’s: shoot, shovel, STFU. The second ‘s’ is arguably the most important. If properly done there is no evidence of said ‘justice’ for the authorities to prosecute.
Do to the judges what the criminals they let go have done to others. This crap of letting go criminals would stop immediately.
He has no future in that community.
If nothing is done, he will just destroy other lives somewhere else. THAT is the reality these crooked, liberal judges have unleashed upon the public with her reckless decision.
I, for one, would be a friendly juror to one delivered their own justice.
No question, after reading about his violent actions, he’s a first-class violent sexual predator, he strangled one of his victims until she passed out and according to her doctor was minutes from being strangled to death.
Predators like him don’t stop until they are put down, hopefully it doesn’t take an innocent young woman dying for that to happen.
We used to know how to handle these things. Back then, someone would have carried a rope rather than a sign.
I’m betting this type of corruption is widespread throughout the “justice” system. Those involved will eventually be held accountable, unless they repent. God hates unjust scales.
Many thanks for providing some context. Cheers!

Jesse.
