On August 1, a 26-year-old Ghanaian national named Jeff Kufi Asare was arrested in Oklahoma City after two women reported being sexually battered. He was booked into Oklahoma County Jail on charges of sexual battery and indecent exposure.
Days later, he was back on the street.
By August 6, Asare was arrested again for another sexual battery. And by August 12, he'd escalated to first-degree rape, allegedly attacking a woman on the Lake Hefner Trail while screaming "let me get some." Firefighters nearby had to intervene to stop the assault.
Three arrests. Three different women. Twelve days. As local outlet KOCO reported, "Jeff Asare has been in jail three times in the last two weeks, all for allegedly assaulting women."
The Gateway Pundit reports that Asare has racked up nearly two dozen arrests since 2022. The rap sheet reads like a man daring the system to stop him: a retail charge in August 2023, trespassing and obstruction in February 2025, breaking and entering in October 2025, another breaking and entering in March 2026. After his March plea, an Oklahoma County court issued an immigration warning — which, as we can see, accomplished exactly nothing.
Judge Cindy Truong, the Oklahoma County District Judge who previously released Asare, now gets to explain to the women of Oklahoma City why a serial predator with a booking photo collection thicker than a Cheesecake Factory menu was granted the opportunity to walk out of jail and do it again. And then again.
This isn't a bail reform debate. This is a pattern that plays out in blue city after blue city, where the machinery of catch-and-release grinds forward regardless of how many victims pile up behind it. The immigration warning was issued in April 2026. Four months later, Asare wasn't deported — he was out and about in Oklahoma City looking for his next victim.
