Jesse McFadden, a convicted sex offender linked to the recent gruesome discovery of seven bodies, has come under intense scrutiny in the media. McFadden, who had previously served 17 years in prison for raping a woman when she was 16 years old, was released in 2020 (Fox News).
Two days ago, authorities uncovered seven bodies at McFadden’s property in Henryetta, Oklahoma. Among the victims were two missing teenage girls, McFadden himself, and four other individuals. All of them had been shot (The Independent). One of his rape victims has criticized his prison release and visited the scene where McFadden’s body, along with the six other victims, was found (The US Sun).
McFadden has been described as controlling by an Oklahoma woman, whose daughter was part of the family living on the rural property with the sex offender (KHBS). The bodies were discovered the same day McFadden was expected to appear in court for a separate case involving new sex abuse charges (NBC News).
In another shocking development, the parents of Ivy Webster โ one of the teenage victims โ claim that McFadden texted them pretending to be their daughter while she lay dead (Daily Mail).
Adding to the troubling events, McFadden allegedly texted a victim involved in his soliciting case the night before the bodies were found. In the chilling message, he reportedly told her “this is all on you” (New York Post).
Authorities are still investigating the motive behind the crime, as well as the events leading up to the gruesome discoveries. The incident has rekindled public debate over the handling and release of convicted sex offenders, as many individuals argue that McFadden should not have been released from prison.
The small community of Henryetta, Oklahoma, is reeling from the shock of the violent incident. As the investigation continues, reports continue to emerge detailing the harrowing lives of those who lived under McFadden’s control, raising questions about how the convicted rapist wound up back in the community.
