Oklahoma City police released body camera footage Aug. 19, showing all three arrests of Jeff Asare, a 26-year-old man accused of sexually assaulting women at three public locations across the city in a 12-day span this month.

Asare is being held in the Oklahoma County Detention Center on $150,000 bond after an Oklahoma County judge doubled his initial $75,000 bail. As we reported Aug. 18, he was arrested three times between Aug. 1 and Aug. 12 before being kept in custody.

The newly released footage, first reported by KOCO, documents each encounter with officers.

Aug. 1: Classen Boulevard bus stop

In the first clip, officers approach Asare at a bus stop near Northwest 23rd Street and Classen Boulevard. An officer instructs him to turn around before handcuffing him. When Asare asks what the arrest is for, an officer tells him he matched a description.

Police had responded to reports that Asare pushed one woman against the bus stop window and put his hands down her pants, and that he pulled another woman's pants down from behind before she pushed him away, according to KOCO's earlier reporting. All four reported victims from that day are believed to be unhoused, and investigators were unable to locate them for follow-up, the Oklahoma County District Attorney's Office said in a statement. Asare was released from the Oklahoma County Jail without charges.

Aug. 6: Scissortail Park

Five days later, officers approached Asare at Scissortail Park. In the footage, an officer casually asks him to drop a cup he's holding. Asked whether he had touched anyone, Asare responded: "The cup, that's all I touched."

Police booked him on probable-cause allegations of felony sexual battery, plus city assault-and-battery citations, according to a Fox News Digital review of court records. A prosecutor screened the case and recommended only municipal charges. Asare was released again.

Aug. 12: Lake Hefner Trail

The third arrest came around 3:30 p.m. Aug. 12 on the trail south of the Lake Hefner fire station. According to a probable cause affidavit cited by KOCO, Asare grabbed a woman from behind, pulled her down, held her with one hand while trying to pull her pants down with the other, and repeatedly said, "Let me get some." Firefighters stationed nearby witnessed the attack, intervened and held Asare until police arrived.

In the body camera footage from that arrest, Asare can be heard laughing as an officer placed him in handcuffs, News 9 reported. The woman was treated for injuries at the fire station.

Criminal history and system contacts

Court records show Asare's name has appeared in at least 18 Oklahoma County court dockets since January 2023, including seven misdemeanor convictions for breaking and entering, resisting an officer, shoplifting, trespassing and marijuana possession.

In 2025, an Oklahoma County judge allowed the nonprofit TEEM to post bond for Asare on trespassing and obstruction charges. Court records indicate he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and placed under TEEM's supervision. TEEM Executive Director Kris Steele told News 9 on Aug. 18 that Asare "stayed in our program for several months but ultimately lost his ability to continue in those services because of non-compliance."

Asare is no longer eligible for community-based support or treatment programs because of the sexual assault arrests, according to court records.

What's next

Detectives screened the Lake Hefner case with the Oklahoma County District Attorney's Office on Aug. 13. Prosecutors agreed to file charges in that case and the two Scissortail Park incidents, but those charges had not been formally filed as of Wednesday. No court date has been publicly scheduled.

Anyone who had contact with Asare or witnessed criminal behavior can call Crime Stoppers at (405) 235-7300.
