Jesse Butler was charged on 10 counts — two counts of attempted rape, three counts 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 — in February.

The Office of Juvenile Affairs created a rehabilitation plan and presented it to the judge Monday. The plan included more than 100 hours of community service, a curfew, no social media, daily check-ins and weekly counseling until his 19th birthday. It was approved.
Which is why…
…which was omitted from your summary. This guy is clearly getting a ridiculously light sentence, but this quote is vital information that shows how serious his offences were.
While rehabilitation is a much better way to prevent re-offending compared with incarceration, this guy needs way more than just a year of counseling and a few weeks of community service.

Why would that even be included in the summary to begin with? It doesn’t make people feel good or bad to read it?
It’s just repulsive unmarketable information.
Why the fuck should I read the rest of the article? I know I’ll get no objective or subjective value from it, if I want the bottom of the bone dry fucking barrel I would have to read the court transcripts.
I DON’T HAVE TIME TO ASK CHATGPT TO FIND THAT FOR ME!! I have to socialize with my friends and touch grass and be healthy!

Jesse Butler is a dangerous rapist. Just like Brock Turner, he received essentially no punishment and remains a danger to society. The state failed in its obligation to punish Jesse Butler and protect society from him.

78 years and no jail time? That doesn’t set off any red flags for you?
If he had been a woman who shot an abuser in self defense, he would have ended up in prison.
This entire situation is insane. He is going to end up killing someone, someday.
Without the right corrective measure that is quite possible.
