V NEWS FEED // Some child sex offenders imprisoned in Oklahoma may soon have to undergo chemical castration if they want to be eligible for parole.
House Bill 2422 passed the Oklahoma House March 10. The legislation is now in the state Senate. Rep. Scott Fetgatter, R-Okmulgee, introduced the bill to follow through with a promise he made to the families whose loved ones were murdered in 2023 by Jesse McFadden, a convicted rapist who served 16 years in prison, according to a March 11 article on the Oklahoma House website.
“A known sex offender in my district was let out of prison even after he was accused of committing additional sex crimes while incarcerated,” Fetgatter said in the article. “He murdered his wife, her children and several of the children’s friends before he could be tried on those new crimes. This should never have been allowed.
“I have promised the families of these victims that as long as I’m in this building, I will fight for stricter laws against such offenders to better protect our kids. While I know this bill doesn’t fix all issues dealing with sexual predators, it’s a step in the right direction.”
HB2422 applies to people over 21 years old who have committed a sex crime against a minor under 13 years old, according to the article. If they want to be released on parole, offenders must undergo a mental health evaluation regarding whether it is likely they would commit related offenses if released on parole.
According to the bill, which would take effect in November, if the mental health evaluation determines that the chemical castration would inhibit the likelihood of future offenses, the sex offender may be eligible to choose to undergo the hormonal treatment as a part of the parole requirements.
To stay eligible for parole, the offender must continue treatment and cannot reverse the treatment, the bill states. If the offender commits another offense, they face prison for life without possibility of parole. Parole officers would test offenders to confirm compliance.
In Oklahoma, people who apply for parole must be at least 60 years old and have served either one-third of their sentence or at least 10 years in prison, whichever is shorter.
According to the Oklahoman, Fetgatter authored a bill in 2024 called Knights Law to try to require criminals convicted of certain sex crimes to serve their entire sentence. Knights Law passed the House but died in the Senate Judiciary Committee stage.
chemical? fire of the heavy duty string trimmer.
Balls to (get out of) the walls,
I agree. Sex is mental
90% will just resort to using phallic toys/items, it is about control.
Judges lining up and grabbing straws to see who gets to pull the plug here !
NOoooo! Chemical castration drugs are cruel and unusual punishment!
...unless you are giving them to children to treat gender dysphoria. Then it’s fine.
/s
Death not castration. That is all.
Castration with a dull rusty hack saw blade more fitting.
Option#2
Nail nuts to table give him a dull knife set room on fire loch door with pad lock on the outside as you leave.
......”The problem with this is it’s not in their sex organs it’s in their head”.......
They can’t be rehabilitated either....some things you cannot turn around.
Hang ‘em and be done with it.
I don’t think that chemical castration will stop these crimes. They’ll still have the psychosis and the rage, and the ability to commit sex (and other) crimes. Even if the resultant low-T “performance” might be inhibited, other objects exist to assault victims.
Kill them.
HOW/WHY DO YOU PAROLE A MULTI MURDERER ???
they will now become murderers out of frustration
they will now become murderers out of frustration
Good point LOL
