re: 17 (18) and year older given slap on the wrist after violent sexual assaults and rape

You are right, she should be called out too.

Laura Thomas

I hate these stories because now I want to break into their home and kill the kid and both of his parents.

I have read 2 different versions of the penalty if he is non-compliant with state-supervised rehabilitation plan, but if he is forbidden to view porn especially violent porn and/or the rehabilitation pushes him confront that violent sexual offender nature I can’t see him staying in compliance. But the state program is likely shite like most.

If no other sides or aspects to story the level of sexual deviance being described isn’t going away. With the second girl it doesn’t state if the choking was also sexual in any manner including without consent, but again if it was along with the sex when unconscious with the first girl he is going to repeat.

I have seen teens in over their head with sex while too immature to handle the drama, emotions, jealousy, and so on get violent with each other, then get help, mature, and not repeat any of it as adults; but this never included violence during sexual activity (based only on him making a recording of the choking but may not have been sexual at all at the start or for the girl at all), violence to the point of making the other unconscious, or a rape after making the other unconscious from violence much less all of the above.

Anyone know what Oklahoma usual requires to push a juvenile crime to be tried as an adult?

According to the Oklahoma State Courts Network, Butler will remain subject to the sentence ordered on Aug. 25, 2025, which was 10 years, pending his compliance or non-compliance with the youthful offender rehabilitation plan.

The court extended jurisdiction to Butler's 19th birthday, and he is now under the oversight of the Office of Juvenile Affairs, pending his compliance or non-compliance with the court's orders.

Court documents show Butler remains bound by a sentence issued Aug. 25, 2025, contingent on full compliance with a state-supervised rehabilitation plan.

While Butler was sentenced to a total of 78 years, the sentence is suspended under Oklahoma’s youthful offender program, meaning he will not serve prison time unless he violates the program’s conditions.

He remains under Office of Juvenile Affairs supervision until his 19th birthday, subject to counseling, therapy, more than 100 hours of community service, a curfew, no social media, daily check-ins and weekly counseling, according to documents obtained by Fox News.

If Butler fulfills the terms of the program and avoids further legal trouble, he can remain out of prison, though any violation could result in the full sentence being enforced.

The DA in Payne County Oklahoma, Laura Austin Thomas, is a republican.

You're not very good at this.

If there was ever a more punchable face.....

Best you set that up right……otherwise he’s dead and buried and you are waiting for your own trial.

If you get lucky, you win….but you’ll be broke.

Might not change much, but it was a judge who granted the youthful offender status and approved the rehabilitation plan submitted by the Office of Juvenile Affairs. She had earlier denied him being certified as a juvenile, but in a later hearing approved youth offender status (basically in between juvenile and adult).

She was initially appointed by another Judge to thr Special Judge position. Not sure if she has to go thru election process.

The Worthington Dynasty: Fifty Years of Control

The name Worthington came up again and again.

Judge Susan Worthington, who currently serves in Payne County, has gained a reputation among locals for her leniency in sexual offense and domestic violence cases, repeatedly lowering bail, issuing suspended sentences, and reducing penalties for repeat offenders.

But according to longtime residents, this pattern stretches back generations. Her father, Judge Don Worthington, held the same position before her.

Between them, the Worthingtons have effectively controlled the Payne County bench for over fifty years combined.

Half a century of one family presiding over cases involving sexual assault, domestic abuse, and child exploitation, shaping the courtroom culture that Stillwater lives under today.

When power stays in the same hands that long, it stops serving the people, and starts serving itself.

Also the dad that used to work at Oklahoma State’s athletic department was working for the school district at the time of his kid’s crimes.

A Familiar Last Name in Stillwater At the time these assaults took place, Butler’s father, Mack Butler, served as the assistant athletic director for Stillwater Public Schools, a position that connected him directly to the city’s education and sports networks.
According to several residents familiar with the matter, the Butlers are deeply woven into Stillwater’s civic and social fabric. Those connections allegedly extended into the school district, local politics, and the judicial system itself.

After my first report on Jesse Butler’s sentencing, messages began flooding in from Stillwater parents and residents, people who said, “This isn’t new. This is how it’s always been.”

They were right.
