Oklahoma sex offender victim, Krystle Strong, slams ‘justice system’ over Jesse McFadden’s prison release
The first reported victim of the convicted sex offender found dead with six others — including two missing Oklahoma teens — said the “justice system failed them” when he was released from jail after serving a 17-year sentence for her rape.
Krystle Strong was raped by Jesse McFadden, 39, in 2003 when she was just 16 years old.
He was released in 2020 despite facing separate child porn charges and on Monday, he became the prime suspect in the killings of six people found dead at his Henryetta property.
Five of the dead were teens — including missing girls Ivy Webster, 14, and Brittany Brewer, 16 — according to authorities and family members.
The victims’ relatives believe McFadden fatally shot all six people — Ivy; Brittany; his wife Holly Guess, 35; and her three children: Rylee Elizabeth Allen, 17; Michael James Mayo, 15; and Tiffany Dore Guess, 13 — before taking his own life.
Police have not released a narrative of the tragic events and the medical examiner hasn’t announced official IDs of the victims.
McFadden was due in court Monday to go on trial for the child porn case — charges stemming from alleged texts he exchanged with a victim while he was still behind bars for Strong’s rape.
Strong recounted her horrific and violent rape after learning the news about the man responsible.
She said McFadden tied her up with belts and held a knife to her neck before she was able to escape and run out without her clothes on to a neighbor’s for help, according to Fox News and News on 6.
“It felt like it was forever,” she told local station News on 6.
Strong said police arrived and found him with both his wrists slit at a nearby river.
Two decades later, Strong said she had wished she could have convinced authorities to have kept him in prison.
“I’m sorry that those little girls had to go through this,” Strong said of McFadden’s alleged victims. “I’m sorry that the justice system failed them.”
In 2017, McFadden was charged with using a contraband cell phone to exchange sexual messages and explicit images with a 16-year-old girl a year earlier. Despite the active charges, the convicted sex offender was released in 2020.
“I actually got ahold of the court system and said ‘You guys are gonna let him out after I just seen [sic] this flash across the news that he had a court case with another young girl? You guys are still gonna let him out? Like this shows that he has not changed…’,” Strong said, according to Fox. “I kept getting the runaround.”
About a year after his release, McFadden met Holly Guess. They got married last May and his new wife only recently found out about his criminal history — which McFadden tried to downplay, Guess’s mother Janette Mayo said.
The two missing teens found dead were friends with Guess’s children and were spending the weekend with the family when they died.
