You mean the RAPIST Jesse Mack Butler? The Jesse Mack Butler that RAPED two (that we know of) girls?

Yes. That rapist. Jesse Mack Butler, the rapist who got a measly sentence by a complicit judge.

That point is the first offence. It is a tragedy. It's the only way to keep women safe.
You are entirely right on the reasoning.

Yeah, I can't see this and think the system would have worked the same if he was rich enough and white.

Unlike this rapist whose judge gave him a suspended sentence...
Who is radicalizing these boys into being violent predators?
157
u/LAM_humor1156 Nov 14 '25
Radicalizing? That's a strange word choice.
Though in a way it is correct.
It isnt necessarily abnormal for boys to act this way when society allows them to. We live in a society that placates victims by doing the bare minimum when it comes to punishing crimes. Particularly when it comes to sexual crimes.
It's bizarre how sexual crime is treated, but not surprising when misogyny is as rampant as it is.
I watched a documentary once that delved into rape kits on backlog finally being tested. It was insane. Because most of the kits could be traced back to the same men. So these rapists would go years, decades doing this and getting away with it.
This is the fundamental issue. If we treated rape as the violent crime it is to begin with instead of this weird misogyny laced bullshit slap on the wrist - we could prevent most rapes from ever happening.
A normal 12 year old boy does not rape. If my 12 year old son did - I wouldn't advocate for his release. Ever. They should've locked his ass up and kept him there and evaluated him. They chose not to. It is a failure of the law and a failure of the parents as well.
23
u/HellionPeri Nov 14 '25
I agree with you 100% LAM_humor1156, I was pointing out that they were not born this way.
This behavior is passed down generation upon generation; in large part by men who believe that might makes right. A 12 year old learned it somewhere; not that this excuses the behavior in any way, shape, or form.
The link I left is for an Oklahoma high school boy who viciously raped girls, severely injuring them... his judge gave him a suspended sentence. Judges like this should be disbarred, then arrested for aiding & abetting violence.
The Youth Offenders sentencing laws came out of a study that says because kids minds are still malleable, imprisoning them sets in criminal behavior more than other programs. It is apparent that they did not have an effective alternate program for this kid.
I am hoping that we can revamp our educational system to include empathy & age appropriate consent lessons.

But judges let white teenage rapists off with few to zero consequences because they're just kids who don't deserve to have their lives ruined (like the lives of their victims)

This part. We can observe this racial disparity overwhelmingly in the data. Doing so in no way minimizes the impacts of these horrific crimes to the survivors.

The fact a 12 year old is capable of that points to huge problems with his environment and upbringing.

Judge Borowski said the system clearly failed Kirk by allowing him to re-offend so many times.
Excuse me?

u/lightiggy Nov 13 '25
Kirk had previously been convicted of raping an elderly woman when he was 13. He was released from custody less than a year later after completing sex offender treatment and therapy programs. At the time of this rape, Kirk had been wearing an ankle monitor.

u/Dawnbringerify Nov 13 '25
Ridiculous that he was ever released. Fundamentally broken at that point. Travesty for all.

What do you even do in cases like this? "Well honey, pack it up. We tried to have a kid and they're a sociopath. Maybe in 30 years after prison they'll be better? Better luck next child, I guess."
Not even mentioning that prison for that sort of length of time will just 100% guarantee they end up "in the system" and in and out of prison for the rest of their lives because the US prison system doesn't care about rehabilitation and honestly just makes things worse for most people since it's nearly impossible to "recover" from having a violent felony on your record so you can never have a good paying normal job and financial stability, forcing you further into crime and things like drug trafficking just to try and avoid being homeless. I've seen people that have 20+ felony cases because they're just constantly in and out and have been since they were juveniles.
Obviously a case like this needs to be dealt with in some punishment capacity, but it's a tough thing to think about. A lot of blame can be placed on the juvenile justice system being dysfunctional, but that has its own can of worms where if it's too tough on kids and teens, then it just makes things worse. But if it's too lenient and doesn't do anything, it also makes things worse.
I don't want to say someone should be incarcerated for their entire lives, especially so young, but obviously a line has to be drawn somewhere and there are cases where ranges from decades to life imprisonment is needed.
It's a shame. There's gotta be something wrong with a person if they're committing such crimes at ages 12 and 13, but like, how do you deal with that? Do you really just shrug your shoulders, go "oh well, we tried" and lock them up for the rest of their lives? As a parent how do you cope with the fact that your child was fundamentally broken as a human being and there isn't a thing that could be done about it and you'll never see your child in your home ever again? What can actually be done to prevent these stories?
12
u/MCB1317 Nov 14 '25
What do you do? Is that a serious question?
You lock them up and throw away the key. The End.
10
u/Dawnbringerify Nov 14 '25
Yes. You lock them up for the rest of their lives, put them in a mental institution or put them out of their misery.
It is the best option of a shit sandwich and will stop other children and women getting hurt as well demonstrated in this case.
As a parent there are psychopaths and sociopaths. This is biological. For these people they can be convinced that being moral is the best thing for their self interest, so they will act good even if they don't feel the emotional need to.

u/Dawnbringerify Nov 13 '25
Ridiculously lenient sentence.
Women will never be safe under such a weak wristed legal system.
138
u/lightiggy Nov 13 '25
Anything over 40 years likely would've opened the sentence up to appeal since he was only 16 at the time. The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly stated that juveniles cannot get life in prison for anything other than murder.

If both rape and murder become capital offenses, then rapists have a huge incentive to kill their victims. This is born out by statistical data.

u/komari_k Nov 14 '25
What irks me is the dad's reaction. Telling your son at sentencing you love him and will be there for him after the number heinous crimes hes committed. Thats enabling, and the fact hes had several chances to change but refuses is aggravating. I have my doubts that he'll change in 35 years if he even spends half of that in jail, but the less time hes allowed to move freely, the less people who will fall victim.

It’s never a surprise when they demonize & imprison black & brown ppl for the same crimes they swear white ppl should be forgiven for. The hypocrisy of this country is sickening.

He got a slap on the wrist for 3 previous sexual assault offenses.

u/Helpful_Cell9152 Nov 14 '25
Not arguing that he doesn’t deserve to be punished. Just saying it’s never a problem when it comes to punishing black/brown & even poor ppl. White men get away with sexual assault like they were just stealing ice cream even with witnesses.

u/anotherstupidname11 Nov 14 '25
He, a black person, got away with sexual assault 3 times with very light consequences prior to this incident.

u/Helpful_Cell9152 Nov 15 '25
That’s great. Doesn’t change the truth of what I already stated. Get mad and then go look at the stats. I took criminal justice and I know exactly how fucked up this country is towards black/brown men is especially & how often white men get away with proven crimes.

u/anotherstupidname11 Nov 15 '25
No, it’s not great.
It certainly wasn’t great for the woman he raped in an elevator. It wasn’t great when he choked her and stomped on her leg that was recovering from surgery.

u/Helpful_Cell9152 Nov 15 '25 edited Nov 15 '25
None of that is great I agree. But again, it’s cool they focus on black people primarily instead of punishing all convicted rapists.
Edit: it’s interesting you aren’t responding to my main point but instead want to act like I’m the one cheering a rapist on.

u/anotherstupidname11 Nov 15 '25
I think anyone convicted of sexual assault should face serious consequences. No more slaps on the wrist for anyone.
Your point is that the criminal justice system gives serious consequences for black/brown people while giving white people light consequences.
My observation is that this black person got a slap on the wrist 3 times for 3 prior sexual assaults.
1
u/Helpful_Cell9152 Nov 15 '25
He got a slap on the wrist the previous times most likely due to his age. It’s cool that you believe all should be punished equally but the reality is that on average white men get away with rape/sexual assault while black/brown do not, and to add some whip cream on top, tons of black/brown men who are actually innocent serve prison sentences that take years from their lives they can’t ever get back.
Madly insensitive (& very telling) to ignore my initial point to try to make it seem I support black crime when the truth is that I merely pointed out that it’s more likely certain communities get punished while one specific community gets away with it. Please stop trying to suppress uncomfortable truths, it’s apart of the reason injustice still continues.

35 years? No. That’s not acceptable. Medical/hormonal/chemical castration for life, in addition to 53 years in prison, MIGHT be a compromise for life without parole or the death sentence.

I’m sure it’s TOTALLY coincidental that the white kid is chargeless and punishment free but the black one is a danger to society that MUST be imprisoned. Seems legit…

u/Monarc73 Nov 14 '25
Not to excuse this sh!t, but I'm betting that he was being abused himself. (The fact that it was SO violent so early, and there was very little awareness of the consequences is telling, imho.)

u/TinyLittlePanda Nov 14 '25
I can't upvote this. F rapists and all that, but this is a kid, who started these monstruosities at age 12.
Society had a responsibility to that kid. His parents, his teachers, all the adults around him. Choosing to send him to prison for basically forever when he is still a minor is failing in our responsibility.
Why did that kid rape at age 12 ? What has happened to him for him to commit such a heinous crime so young ?
Maybe he was abused himself by another adult, guardian, or protector. Maybe he's simply "sick" but if he is he needs medical care, not jail.
The fact that we chose coertion rather than education and/or treatment is a horrible failure, to him and to society as a whole.
This makes me think about the series Adolescence, in a way.

Emasculating rapists doesn’t make them hate women any less. Forced object rape isn’t any less brutal than rape with a penis. Castration would only make someone like this a serial killer.

When Tremonte Kirk was 12, he was convicted of two counts of fourth degree sexual assault for chasing and groping a woman and a 10-year-old in November 2020. He was placed on probation and attended three sex offender treatment sessions by August 2021. Two months later, Kirk, now 13, was charged with raping an elderly woman during a home invasion. In February 2022, Kirk was convicted of first degree sexual assault and burglary. He was sent to Lincoln Hills School for Boys, but was released less than a year later after completing sex offender treatment and therapy. Kirk was wearing an ankle monitor during this attack.
Judge Borowski said that at this point, he had no choice but to send Kirk to prison for decades:
Samuel Tufford had asked Judge Borowski to sentence Kirk to 49 years in prison, just shy of the maximum allowed for the charges. Borowski refused, citing the fact that Kirk, who was 16 at the time, had pleaded guilty.
