Man Charged After Trail Assaults | Oklahoma City News

A 26-year-old man, Jeff Asare, is now in custody facing first-degree rape charges after a terrifying assault on a woman near Lake Hefner Trail—rescued by firefighters who intervened during routine training. His bond was doubled to $150K amid growing public fear, especially among runners. With over a dozen prior cases dating back to last year—including multiple arrests with dropped charges due to victim identification issues—he’s become a symbol of systemic failure and rising danger in public spaces. Locals are demanding accountability, saying safety can’t rely on pepper spray or running in groups when predators keep slipping through the cracks.
