An Oklahoma teenager, identified as Jesse Butler, has been accused of sexually assaulting and strangling a victim, but has walked free despite facing charges. The victim's family and their attorney, Rachel Bussett, are now pursuing a civil lawsuit and have expressed hope that federal authorities will intervene to pursue justice against him, given the outcome of the criminal case.

Bussett discussed the planned civil action in a Fox News interview, saying she hopes federal law enforcement will step in given the case's circumstances. The article, as provided, does not detail why the criminal charges did not result in the teenager remaining in custody, nor the specific allegations beyond the assault and strangulation accusations.
