Oklahoma plans new sex offender laws after rapist killed six people before trial

Scott Fetgatter proposes legislation aimed at halting early release of certain sex offenders after mass killing

An Oklahoma state lawmaker is planning to introduce new legislation aimed at halting the early release of certain sex offenders after a convicted rapist killed six people – including five children – at his home the night before he faced another criminal trial.

The proposal from state representative Scott Fetgatter would come after the killings in his district by 39-year-old Jesse McFadden, who authorities say murdered his wife, her three children and two of their friends before he died by suicide and their bodies were discovered on Monday.
