Oklahoma City Police Arrest Jeff Kufi Asare 3 Times in 12 Days, Book Him on Rape Charge

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 17

Summary

  • $75,000 bond was set after Jeff Kufi Asare, 26, was booked Aug. 12 on a first-degree rape charge—his third arrest in 12 days tied to alleged sexual attacks in Oklahoma City.
  • Firefighters on the Lake Hefner Trail alerted police after seeing Asare allegedly restraining a woman, leading to the latest arrest; the incident report was not yet complete for release.
  • Aug. 1 and Aug. 6 arrests had already tied him to alleged sexual battery, indecent exposure, attempted kidnapping and assaults involving multiple women, with judges previously setting $50,000 bond on Aug. 5 and Aug. 10.
  • Oklahoma County prosecutors have not yet filed state charges in any of the three cases because police are still investigating and have not presented them, though the district attorney's office said it expects charges once the files arrive.
  • At least 18 Oklahoma County court dockets since January 2023 show a broader record that includes seven misdemeanor convictions, among them three for breaking and entering.
