Seven convictions since 2023, every one of them a misdemeanor. That is why he kept walking out. Jeff Kufi Asare, 26, was arrested in Oklahoma City on August 1 after several women reported sexual assaults. A judge found probable cause and set bond at $50,000. Three days later the jail received a release instruction from police and he walked out: prosecutors had filed no charges, because two of the four women could not be identified and the other two could not be reached. Five hours later he was arrested again, over two reports at a downtown park. A judge set another $50,000 bond, another release instruction arrived, and he was out by the afternoon. Two days later, on August 12, firefighters saw a man restraining a woman on the Lake Hefner Trail and called police. Asare was booked on a first-degree rape allegation. This time prosecutors filed charges, asked the court to raise the bond to $75,000, and began revisiting the two cases they had dropped. He has been in custody since. Court records show at least 18 Oklahoma County dockets since 2023 and seven convictions, all of them misdemeanors.
