Jesse Mack Butler, 18, from Stillwater, about an hour north of Oklahoma City, escaped prison time after pleading no contest to multiple rape and assault charges.

Why Jesse Butler isn’t going to prison
In March, when Butler was 17, he was charged, as an adult, with 10 felony counts related to sex crimes against two girls, both fellow students at Stillwater High School. One of the girls was choked unconscious and almost died, according to her doctor.

Butler’s charges included two attempted rapes, three charges of “rape by instrumentation,” one count of sexual battery, one count of forcible oral sodomy, two counts of “domestic assault and battery by strangulation” and one count of domestic assault and battery.

Butler pleaded not guilty to all charges, and the district attorney’s office struck a deal with Butler’s lawyers to change his status from adult to youthful offender. The victims’ families begged the D.A. not to do that, but in July, a judge signed off on the accord. In August, Butler changed his plea from not guilty to no contest.
