In Stillwater, Oklahoma, Jesse Butler, who was 17 when charged with 11 counts including first-degree rape and strangulation of two teen girls, had his case dismissed after completing youthful offender probation, avoiding any prison time; the district attorney plans to pursue federal review and a civil action may follow, while Butler’s record may be expunged.
