Oklahoma's Response to Tragic Crimes: Tougher Laws for Sex Offenders and Questioning the Legal System.

An Oklahoma state lawmaker is planning to introduce legislation to prevent the early release of certain sex offenders after a convicted rapist killed six people, including five children, before his trial. Jesse McFadden had served 17 years in prison for a 2003 rape conviction and was released in October 2020 after complying with state laws that allow for prisoners to be released early. The proposal would prevent inmates convicted of rape and child sexual abuse from being released early.
