He got released and received no prison time because his parents had connections from working at Oklahoma State University. He raped and abused three girls and even recorded himself choking one of them until she went unconscious. The only reason he was arrested is because he violated a restraining order. One of the girls had to get multiple surgeries from internal damage.
As he got handcuffed his mother had the audacity to say “what a terrible thing for a kid to go through” when her son tried to kill and raped there girls. He’ll continue to hurt women because he knows he can get away it. Won’t be surprised if next time he really does kill someone.
