Podcast appearances and mentions of jesse butler

Payne County District Attorney Laura Austin Thomas has finally spoken publicly about the Jesse Butler case — the Stillwater, Oklahoma teenager who pleaded no contest to 11 felony charges including attempted rape, strangulation, and domestic assault against two teenage girls. Butler faced up to 78 years in prison but walked away with youthful offender status, community service, counseling, and no sex offender registration. His record will be expunged when he turns 19. In her statement, the DA defends the plea deal by claiming the victims' families were consulted, that trials for sexual assault are traumatic, and that Oklahoma law favors rehabilitation for minors. But the families tell a different story. According to victims' attorney Rachel Bussett, the plea deal was struck without the victims' approval, and both families were "vehemently opposed" to youthful offender status from the start. A motion has been filed alleging violations of Marsy's Law, Oklahoma's constitutional victims' rights amendment. Court documents reveal one victim was strangled so severely a doctor said she was 30 seconds from death. Police found video on Butler's phone showing him strangling another victim until she lost consciousness. These weren't ambiguous encounters — they were documented, repeated, violent attacks. Yet the DA's statement frames the case as "conduct by a 16-year-old male directed at similarly aged young women" in "ongoing, consensual dating relationships." In this video, we break down the DA's full statement line by line, examine what she claims versus what the court records show, and ask the question no one in Payne County seems willing to answer: When evidence is this overwhelming and violence this severe, how does community service become justice?

This full-length interview with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke brings together two deeply disturbing stories — the Jesse Butler case in Oklahoma and the tragic death of 18-year-old Anna Kepner aboard a cruise ship. Both cases expose something bigger than individual acts of violence. They reveal systems, institutions, and family dynamics that shape who gets protected — and who gets overlooked. Part One: The Predator's Playbook We examine how Jesse Butler allegedly built trust, manipulated perception, and inflicted escalating violence behind a mask of charm. Love-bombing, grooming, strangulation, digital trophies, calibrated threats — this is the behavioral blueprint of a predator operating in plain sight. Part Two: The System That Failed Despite overwhelming evidence and two victims ready to testify, Butler walked away with community service, counseling, and the promise of a clean record. We dig into the deal-making, the optics, the backlash, and the profound message this outcome sends to victims everywhere. Part Three: The Death of Anna Kepner Conflicting family stories, minimized aggression, outside witnesses telling a different truth, and behavioral indicators investigators look for when tragedy fractures the narrative. Robin explains how trained professionals cut through damage control to find reality. This episode isn't just about two cases — it's about the patterns, systems, and human behaviors that allow violence to go unchecked until it explodes into public view. #JesseButler #AnnaKepner #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #RobinDreeke #VictimAdvocacy #BehavioralAnalysis #JusticeMatters #CrimeAndAccountability Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The parents of Jesse Butler's victims are breaking their silence — and what they're revealing is devastating. Jesse Mack Butler, 18, of Stillwater, Oklahoma, pleaded no contest to 11 felony charges including attempted rape, rape by instrumentation, and domestic assault by strangulation against two teenage girls. One victim was strangled until she lost consciousness and required surgery on her neck. Her doctor told her she was 30 seconds away from dying. Police found video on Butler's phone of him strangling the other victim. He faced 78 years in prison. Instead, a judge granted him "youthful offender" status — and he received community service, counseling, and supervision until his 19th birthday. No prison. No sex offender registry. If he complies, his record gets wiped clean. The victims' families say they were never consulted about the plea deal. Both girls were willing to testify. That choice was taken from them. Butler's father is the former Director of Football Operations at Oklahoma State University. The judge who granted youthful offender status holds two degrees from OSU. No direct impropriety has been proven — but the families and protesters are demanding answers. "Community service for this type of crime, that's nothing," one victim's father told Nightline. "People get that for minor crimes." State Rep. J.J. Humphrey is calling for a grand jury investigation. Protesters have surrounded the courthouse at every hearing. And the parents have one message for America: "Love shouldn't hurt." #JesseButler #Stillwater #Oklahoma #TrueCrime #JusticeForSurvivors #YouthfulOffender #NoJailTime #DomesticViolence #TeenDatingViolence #LoveShouldntHurt Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two teenage boys in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Both charged with first-degree rape. Both charged with strangulation. Both were 17 at the time of the alleged crimes. Both attacked teenage girls they were dating. One of them walked out of court with community service. The other is sitting in jail on $30,000 bond, facing five years to life. What's the difference? Jesse Mack Butler was convicted on ten rape-related charges in 2025. One of his victims nearly died—her doctor testified she was thirty seconds from death during a strangulation attack. Police found videos on his phone of the assaults. He faced 78 years in prison. He got 150 hours of community service. Butler's father is the former Director of Operations for Oklahoma State football. The judge who granted him youthful offender status holds two degrees from OSU. A state lawmaker has called for a grand jury investigation, saying the deal "smacks of political favor." Now there's a second case. Canyn Rion Porter was charged in December 2025 with first-degree rape and strangulation. The allegations are strikingly similar. But Porter doesn't have family connections to OSU. He doesn't have a private attorney. He applied for a public defender. So what happens now? Does Porter get the same deal Butler got? Or does he go to prison while Butler stays home under a curfew? Either answer raises serious questions about how justice works in Payne County—and who it works for. In this video, I break down both cases, the controversial youthful offender statute, the family connections that have people asking questions, and what these cases tell us about accountability in America. The question isn't just what happens to Jesse Butler or Canyn Porter. It's what happens to the next girl. #JesseButler #CanynPorter #Stillwater #StillwaterOklahoma #OklahomaState #OSU #PayneCounty #YouthfulOffender #JusticeSystem #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeNews #CriminalJustice #JJHumphrey #CommunityService #TwoTierJustice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The parents of Jesse Butler's victims are breaking their silence — and what they're revealing is devastating. Jesse Mack Butler, 18, of Stillwater, Oklahoma, pleaded no contest to 11 felony charges including attempted rape, rape by instrumentation, and domestic assault by strangulation against two teenage girls. One victim was strangled until she lost consciousness and required surgery on her neck. Her doctor told her she was 30 seconds away from dying. Police found video on Butler's phone of him strangling the other victim. He faced 78 years in prison. Instead, a judge granted him "youthful offender" status — and he received community service, counseling, and supervision until his 19th birthday.  No prison. No sex offender registry. If he complies, his record gets wiped clean. The victims' families say they were never consulted about the plea deal. Both girls were willing to testify. That choice was taken from them. Butler's father is the former Director of Football Operations at Oklahoma State University. The judge who granted youthful offender status holds two degrees from OSU. No direct impropriety has been proven — but the families and protesters are demanding answers. "Community service for this type of crime, that's nothing," one victim's father told Nightline.

Two victims. Video evidence. Medical records. Eleven felonies. A potential 78-year sentence. And somehow, Jesse Butler walked away with community service, counseling sessions, and the promise of a wiped-clean record at nineteen. In this segment, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke returns to dissect the institutional meltdown surrounding this case. The DA cut a deal without notifying the victims. A judge with connections to Butler's father granted youthful offender status. A community service program rejected Butler outright. And families who were ready to testify were shut out entirely. We dig into what the justice system thinks it's doing when it claims to “spare victims from testimony” — and what actually happens when their agency is removed. We examine the optics, the backlash, the calls for a grand jury investigation, and what this outcome signals to victims everywhere who are deciding whether reporting abuse is even worth the trauma. Stacy asks the question on everyone's mind: Would this outcome look the same if Butler's family didn't have status and connections? This is systemic failure in real time — and a case study in how trust is destroyed. #JesseButler #JusticeSystemFailure #YouthfulOffender #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #VictimsRights #TrueCrimeAnalysis #OklahomaJustice #AccountabilityNow Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jesse Butler wasn't the monster people warn their daughters about. He was the boyfriend parents trusted. Flowers, church, country clubs, family dinners — the whole Norman Rockwell starter kit. And according to investigators, behind that perfectly polished image was a pattern of calculated violence that nearly killed two teenage girls. In this interview, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke breaks down how someone like Butler operates in plain sight — how predators build charm, weaponize trust, and calibrate threats to keep victims silent. We walk through the behavioral markers, the escalation from love-bombing to violence, and why strangulation is one of the most chilling predictors of future lethal behavior. We also look at the bodycam moment where Butler's mother immediately coaches him — and what that interaction reveals about the ecosystem that allows someone this dangerous to thrive. And as Stacy points out, strangulation requires sustained, intentional effort. What does that tell us about motive, psychology, and risk moving forward? If you're a parent, guardian, or young adult — this is a conversation you cannot afford to skip. #JesseButlerCase #RobinDreeke #BehavioralAnalysis #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #DatingViolence #VictimSupport #StrangulationRisk #JusticeForSurvivors Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The parents of Jesse Butler's victims are breaking their silence — and what they're revealing is devastating. Jesse Mack Butler, 18, of Stillwater, Oklahoma, pleaded no contest to 11 felony charges including attempted rape, rape by instrumentation, and domestic assault by strangulation against two teenage girls. One victim was strangled until she lost consciousness and required surgery on her neck. Her doctor told her she was 30 seconds away from dying. Police found video on Butler's phone of him strangling the other victim. He faced 78 years in prison. Instead, a judge granted him "youthful offender" status — and he received community service, counseling, and supervision until his 19th birthday.  No prison. No sex offender registry. If he complies, his record gets wiped clean. The victims' families say they were never consulted about the plea deal. Both girls were willing to testify. That choice was taken from them. Butler's father is the former Director of Football Operations at Oklahoma State University. The judge who granted youthful offender status holds two degrees from OSU. No direct impropriety has been proven — but the families and protesters are demanding answers. "Community service for this type of crime, that's nothing," one victim's father told Nightline. "People get that for minor crimes." State Rep. J.J. Humphrey is calling for a grand jury investigation. Protesters have surrounded the courthouse at every hearing. And the parents have one message for America: "Love shouldn't hurt." #JesseButler #Stillwater #Oklahoma #TrueCrime #JusticeForSurvivors #YouthfulOffender #NoJailTime #DomesticViolence #TeenDatingViolence #LoveShouldntHurt Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two teenage boys in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Both charged with first-degree rape. Both charged with strangulation. Both were 17 at the time of the alleged crimes. Both attacked teenage girls they were dating. One of them walked out of court with community service. The other is sitting in jail on $30,000 bond, facing five years to life. What's the difference? Jesse Mack Butler was convicted on ten rape-related charges in 2025. One of his victims nearly died—her doctor testified she was thirty seconds from death during a strangulation attack. Police found videos on his phone of the assaults. He faced 78 years in prison. He got 150 hours of community service. Butler's father is the former Director of Operations for Oklahoma State football. The judge who granted him youthful offender status holds two degrees from OSU. A state lawmaker has called for a grand jury investigation, saying the deal "smacks of political favor." Now there's a second case. Canyn Rion Porter was charged in December 2025 with first-degree rape and strangulation. The allegations are strikingly similar. But Porter doesn't have family connections to OSU. He doesn't have a private attorney. He applied for a public defender. So what happens now? Does Porter get the same deal Butler got? Or does he go to prison while Butler stays home under a curfew? Either answer raises serious questions about how justice works in Payne County—and who it works for. In this video, I break down both cases, the controversial youthful offender statute, the family connections that have people asking questions, and what these cases tell us about accountability in America. The question isn't just what happens to Jesse Butler or Canyn Porter. It's what happens to the next girl. #JesseButler #CanynPorter #Stillwater #StillwaterOklahoma #OklahomaState #OSU #PayneCounty #YouthfulOffender #JusticeSystem #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeNews #CriminalJustice #JJHumphrey #CommunityService #TwoTierJustice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nvidia Distinguished Engineer Kevin Klues noted that low-level systems work is invisible when done well and highly visible when it fails — a dynamic that frames current Kubernetes innovations for AI. At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2025, Klues and AWS product manager Jesse Butler discussed two emerging capabilities: dynamic resource allocation (DRA) and a new workload abstraction designed for sophisticated AI scheduling.DRA, now generally available in Kubernetes 1.34, fixes long-standing limitations in GPU requests. Instead of simply asking for a number of GPUs, users can specify types and configurations. Modeled after persistent volumes, DRA allows any specialized hardware to be exposed through standardized interfaces, enabling vendors to deliver custom device drivers cleanly. Butler called it one of the most elegant designs in Kubernetes.Yet complex AI workloads require more coordination. A forthcoming workload abstraction, debuting in Kubernetes 1.35, will let users define pod groups with strict scheduling and topology rules — ensuring multi-node jobs start fully or not at all. Klues emphasized that this abstraction will shape Kubernetes' AI trajectory for the next decade and encouraged community involvement.Learn more from The New Stack about dynamic resource allocation: Kubernetes Primer: Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) for GPU WorkloadsKubernetes v1.34 Introduces Benefits but Also New Blind SpotsJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Two headlines. Two tragedies. And one justice system collapsing under its own contradictions. In California and Oklahoma — two stories this week reveal the same ugly truth: justice is selective. One mother sits in jail while her missing daughter remains unaccounted for. Another man, accused of horrific violence, walks free. First: The Melodee Buzzard case. Nine-year-old Melodee vanished in early October. Her mother, Ashlee Buzzard, was arrested November 7 on a false-imprisonment charge, bail set at $100,000. Investigators insist the arrest isn't directly tied to the disappearance — but behind that phrasing lies a strategic move. Authorities allege rented vehicles, wigs, and license-plate swaps, with Melodee last seen near the Utah-Colorado border on October 9. Ashlee returned to California alone. The public's question: if she's not charged for the disappearance, what's she really being held for? Then: Jesse Butler. In Payne County, Oklahoma, an 18-year-old accused of rape, strangulation, and sexual assault was handed what amounts to freedom — no prison, only community service and counseling. A plea deal so soft it's reigniting national outrage over judicial accountability. The victims nearly died; Butler walks out under the guise of “rehabilitation.” Together, these cases frame a system that punishes at random — one that acts swiftly against optics, but gently toward those it quietly favors. When a violent offender is treated with mercy and a missing-child case stalls behind legal semantics, we're left with a single, bitter question: who is the justice system actually protecting? Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole to pull back the curtain on both investigations — the legal strategy, the investigative psychology, and the moral failure playing out in real time. Two stories. Two families. One nation still pretending this is justice. #MelodeeBuzzard #JesseButler #AshleeBuzzard #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrimeToday #JusticeSystem #FalseImprisonment #OklahomaJustice #MissingChild  Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A rape. A strangulation. Video evidence. Multiple felony counts. And an 18-year-old who should've faced decades in prison — but didn't. In Payne County, Oklahoma, Jesse Butler pleaded no contest to multiple violent felonies: rape, attempted rape, assault by strangulation, and rape by instrumentation. Each count carried heavy time — up to 78 years combined. But thanks to a stunning plea deal, Butler walked free. No prison. Just community service, counseling, and “youthful offender” status. The agreement was signed off by Judge Susan C. Worthington, prompting outrage from victims, advocates, and law-abiding citizens who can't fathom how this could happen. A young woman nearly strangled to death — doctors saying seconds longer and she'd be gone — and the man responsible goes home. On Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins to break down how plea mechanics, influence, and institutional apathy intersect to create decisions that mock justice itself. We explore how Oklahoma's Youthful Offender Act was never intended for predators like Butler — and how misuse of that statute now threatens public safety statewide. This conversation asks the questions prosecutors and judges won't: What message does this send to survivors? How many future victims will stay silent after seeing a predator walk free? And what does it say when violent offenders are given “second chances” while victims are left with life sentences of trauma? This isn't about vengeance. It's about proportion. It's about a justice system that's supposed to protect the vulnerable — and instead, too often, protects the well-connected. #JesseButler #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrimeToday #JudgeWorthington #OklahomaJustice #RapeCase #PleaDeal #YouthfulOffender  Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two headlines. Two tragedies. And one justice system collapsing under its own contradictions. In California and Oklahoma — two stories this week reveal the same ugly truth: justice is selective. One mother sits in jail while her missing daughter remains unaccounted for. Another man, accused of horrific violence, walks free. First: The Melodee Buzzard case. Nine-year-old Melodee vanished in early October. Her mother, Ashlee Buzzard, was arrested November 7 on a false-imprisonment charge, bail set at $100,000. Investigators insist the arrest isn't directly tied to the disappearance — but behind that phrasing lies a strategic move. Authorities allege rented vehicles, wigs, and license-plate swaps, with Melodee last seen near the Utah-Colorado border on October 9. Ashlee returned to California alone. The public's question: if she's not charged for the disappearance, what's she really being held for? Then: Jesse Butler. In Payne County, Oklahoma, an 18-year-old accused of rape, strangulation, and sexual assault was handed what amounts to freedom — no prison, only community service and counseling. A plea deal so soft it's reigniting national outrage over judicial accountability. The victims nearly died; Butler walks out under the guise of “rehabilitation.” Together, these cases frame a system that punishes at random — one that acts swiftly against optics, but gently toward those it quietly favors. When a violent offender is treated with mercy and a missing-child case stalls behind legal semantics, we're left with a single, bitter question: who is the justice system actually protecting? Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole to pull back the curtain on both investigations — the legal strategy, the investigative psychology, and the moral failure playing out in real time. Two stories. Two families. One nation still pretending this is justice. #MelodeeBuzzard #JesseButler #AshleeBuzzard #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrimeToday #JusticeSystem #FalseImprisonment #OklahomaJustice #MissingChild  Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What happens when two teenage survivors watch the court set their attacker free? In the case of Jesse Mack Butler, charged with eleven felonies — including rape, strangulation, and assault — the answer is unthinkable: one year of supervision, zero prison time, and a wiped record. In this powerful interview, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott break down the psychology of protection — from parental denial to systemic apathy. They explore how communities normalize violence, how judges mistake privilege for potential, and how survivors carry the trauma of a system that refused to protect them. This isn't about one case — it's about what happens when justice becomes an accomplice. #HiddenKillersPodcast #JesseButlerCase #JusticeFailed #PsychologicalAnalysis #ShavaunScott #SurvivorVoices #TraumaInformed #TrueCrimeCommentary #HiddenKillersLive #SystemicInjustice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The people of Stillwater, Oklahoma, have had enough. Hundreds gathered outside the Payne County Courthouse demanding accountability after Judge Susan Worthington allowed a violent sexual predator to avoid prison. Eighteen-year-old Jesse Butler, charged with eleven felonies including rape, attempted rape, and strangulation, received no prison time under Oklahoma's Youthful Offender Law. Despite partial video evidence and one victim requiring neck surgery, Judge Worthington ruled that Butler qualified for rehabilitation instead of incarceration. The potential 78-year sentence vanished, replaced by a single year of supervision, therapy, and a curfew. The decision ignited outrage across the state. Tribal victim services, survivors, parents, and students rallied together on the courthouse steps, chanting for justice and calling for Judge Worthington's removal. State lawmakers labeled the ruling “unacceptable” and vowed to review how the system failed so catastrophically. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, Tony breaks down the story that's shaken Stillwater to its core — how a judge's compassion turned into negligence, how leniency for violent predators endangers every community, and why the public's outrage might finally force real reform. We'll examine the judicial system that let this happen, the decades-long ties that bind small-town power networks, and the growing call to close legal loopholes that allow violent offenders to hide behind “youthful offender” status. This isn't about politics. It's about safety. Because when the system starts protecting predators instead of people, it's not justice anymore — it's failure in a robe. Watch the full breakdown and join the conversation in the comments.

Two cases. Two very different crimes. One system that failed both sets of victims. In this Hidden Killers double feature, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels sit down with defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis to unpack two stories that expose the cracks in American justice — one soaked in leniency, the other in cruelty. First: Jesse Mack Butler. Eleven felony charges. Two teenage girls. One nearly strangled to death. Video evidence. Doctors saying seconds more and she'd be gone. Yet somehow, Stillwater, Oklahoma's court system gave him a second chance — turning seventy-eight years of possible prison time into one year of supervision under the Youthful Offender statute. Eric and Tony dig into how the legal definition of “youth” became a shield for violence, how privilege masqueraded as compassion, and how prosecutors and judges rationalized a decision that left two survivors behind. Then: Susan Lorincz.  The Florida woman convicted of shooting Ajike “AJ” Owens through a locked door — killing the mother of four in front of her children. From prison, Lorincz has now written a four-page letter threatening to sue Owens's children and mother for defamation — accusing them of trespassing, lying, and “ruining her reputation.” Tony and Eric expose the psychological rot behind that letter — how denial becomes control, how narcissism replaces remorse, and how the legal system still lets killers weaponize paperwork against the families they destroyed. Two stories. Same disease. A justice system too soft on those who harm and too silent for those who suffer.

When an admitted violent offender walks free after 11 felony charges, something in the system is broken. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we expose how Oklahoma's Youthful Offender Act was used to spare 18-year-old Jesse Mack Butler from prison time after pleading no contest to multiple felony charges — including rape, attempted rape, sexual battery, and strangulation. Police say they found partial phone video of one attack. Medical reports confirmed that one victim required neck surgery after being choked to the edge of death. Despite the brutality, Butler's case was reclassified from adult felony to Youthful Offender — effectively suspending a 78-year sentence and replacing it with a single year of supervision. Joined by Ret. FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, Tony breaks down: The timeline of failures that let it happen. The family and community privilege surrounding the case. The behavioral patterns of predators — and those who protect them. Why “no-contest” pleas let defendants avoid public accountability. This is a story about systems that choose reputation over justice, mercy over morality, and silence over truth.
