Scores of outraged protesters on Wednesday gathered outside the Payne County Courts Office in Stillwater, Oklahoma, after local teen Jesse Mack Butler eluded a 78-year prison sentence despite pleading no contest to numerous rape and assault charges.

Instead, it’s community service for him.

“I feel terrible for those young women,” protester Adelyn Smith told 2 News Oklahoma.

“Almost losing your life, having a video being recorded of you almost losing your life and your assaulter being able to just walk with no punishment, a slap on the wrist and 150 hours of community service,” she continued. “That’s just ridiculous.”
