An Oklahoma man has been taken into custody three times in less than two weeks, including twice within a five-day span, as police investigate allegations that he sexually assaulted multiple women. Days after those arrests, he was booked again on a first-degree rape charge.
Oklahoma County jail records identify the defendant as Jeff Kufi Asare, 26. He was booked Aug. 12 on a $75,000 cash-or-bail bond, and the record did not show a release date. According to Oklahoma City ABC affiliate KOCO, firefighters contacted police after allegedly seeing Asare restraining a woman along the Lake Hefner Trail.
That arrest came after two earlier encounters with Oklahoma City police in under two weeks. On Aug. 1, officers responded to a possible rape report and arrested Asare on probable-cause allegations of felony sexual battery and felony indecent exposure.
An incident report obtained by News Outlet listed attempted forcible rape and forcible fondling among the reported offenses in that case.

Five days after the Aug. 1 arrest, police arrested Asare again after responding to reports of sexual assaults involving multiple women at a downtown park. He was booked on probable-cause allegations of attempted kidnapping and felony sexual battery, and he also received two municipal assault-and-battery citations.
News Outlet has requested the incident report connected to the Aug. 12 arrest. Oklahoma City police said the report was not yet complete and therefore was not available for release.
Although all three cases involve Asare, state charges have not yet been filed because Oklahoma City police are continuing their investigations and have not presented the cases to prosecutors, the Oklahoma County District Attorney’s Office told News Outlet. The office said it expects to file state charges once it receives the cases from police.
Judges set Asare’s bond at $50,000 on Aug. 5 and again on Aug. 10. After his third arrest, prosecutors asked a judge to raise his bond from $50,000 to $75,000, court and jail records show.

Since January 2023, Asare’s name has appeared in at least 18 Oklahoma County court dockets, a News Outlet review found.
The total includes early probable-cause proceedings, misdemeanor cases and a pending civil lawsuit. Some of the probable-cause files are tied to later criminal cases stemming from the same arrest.
The court records also show at least seven misdemeanor convictions. Three were for breaking and entering. The others were for resisting an officer, shoplifting, trespassing and marijuana possession.

Asare pleaded guilty to resisting an officer, shoplifting and trespassing in September 2023. He later pleaded guilty to breaking and entering and marijuana possession in November 2024, then in two additional breaking-and-entering cases in October 2025 and April.
He received 45 days in jail in the October case and 30 days in the April case, with credit for time served in both. He also enrolled in a court-ordered outpatient program after prosecutors dismissed a 2025 trespassing and obstruction case.
In a separate 2024 case, he missed a hearing, and a judge issued a bench warrant.
News Outlet has requested comment from prosecutors and asked ICE whether it has custody, detainer or immigration-status information involving Asare.
