United StatesAn Oklahoma teenager, Jesse Mack Butler, who was accused of sexually assaulting and strangling two high school girls, had his criminal case dismissed after completing a youthful-offender rehabilitation program without serving a prison sentence. Butler, who was 17 when charged, faced 10 felony counts, including attempted first-degree rape and domestic assault. He pleaded no contest to all charges and was placed under the supervision of the Oklahoma Office of Juvenile Affairs rather than being incarcerated. After completing a court-approved rehabilitation plan, the case was dismissed when Butler turned 19, as the court's jurisdiction expired. Protesters expressed outrage over the outcome, and the district attorney criticized the defense's claims that Butler was a victim of the case.
