Angry protests have erupted in Oklahoma this week over the light sentence handed down to an 18-year-old for a string of rape and strangulation charges that left one girl near death.
Jesse Mack Butler, a former high-school baseball player, was initially facing ten years behind bars for his crimes but must instead participate in a rehabilitation program and community service.
On Monday protestors gathered around a courthouse where Butler was facing a routine probation hearing to call for a tougher sentence.
Butler, who comes from an influential sports family in Stillwater, originally pleaded not guilty to ten felony charges, including rape by instrumentation, attempted rape, domestic assault and battery by strangulation, sexual battery and forcible oral sodomy, according to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail.
He then entered a no contest plea earlier this month.
He was sentenced to seven ten-year terms, two of three years and two of one year, to be served concurrently, a total of ten years behind bars.
But Butler's attorney then applied for him to be treated as a youthful offender since he was 17 at the time of the crimes, meaning he would not spend even a day in prison. At this point, he changed his plea to 'no contest.'
His offenses were committed against two girls he dated, both 16 at the time.
Butler's father, Mack Butler, used to be the director of operations for Oklahoma State University's football team between 2001 and 2004, and later from 2009 to 2021.

“The 19th Amendment was a mistake.”
EVERY Country in the West (with a few small exceptions) is in the process of no longer being Western, due to mass migration, and now 6 kids per immigrant mom (at least in Europe, and not much better in the US).
Who supports this - not the MEN of the West (when men ran things, mass migration simply didn’t happen, unless you go back to the end of the Roman Empire). Who WELCOMES the new conquerors - not the MEN of West, they simply keep quiet, knowing that they’ll be JAILED if they complain.
We’re hosed.
That is a pretty broad brush I would say. Would you say that most schools in Pennsylvania allow child molestation to successful coaches (Joe Paterno, etc.)?
Thank you.
At least he was a citizen for a change.

Plus wealthy family equals screw the victims.
We can hope the fat bastard learns something he doesn’t forget.
It is a warped obsession and the kids turn out dumb as posts to match their adoring fans and parents.
That boy has a porn problem and eventually he’s going to kill someone with his choking fetish.
Only question is how many. He has the makings of a serial killer.
It’s the whole sportsball thing. Sportsball “stars” can do no wrong.
But a well-wielded sportsball bat can solve this problem ...
In Texas, 17 is a grown-ass man. You can get the death penalty at 17.
The mistake was removing the requirement of owning property to vote.
Democrats as a party would pretty much die overnight if this was reinstated. Either own a house or minimum 1 acre of land(to prevent the democrats from handing out 1 sq foot deeds) Do this and redo Congress back to every 500k people get a rep in the house. Then make the house required to meet via zoom or whatever with no presence in DC.
Go Sooners...
