Jesse McFadden: Former cellmate reveals shocking sexual behavior of convicted sex offender in prison
HENRYETTA, OKLAHOMA: In the wake of the horrifying murder-suicide case in Oklahoma and the subsequent revelation of Jesse McFadden's early release despite facing charges of soliciting a minor, a man who shared a prison cell with McFadden has come forward with disturbing details about his deviant sexual behavior behind bars. McFadden shot dead six people before pulling the trigger on himself.
Investigators said that McFadden, a 39-year-old convicted sex offender, shot his wife, Holly Guess, 35, and her children Rylee Elizabeth Allen, 17, Michael James Mayo, 15, and Tiffany Dore Guess, 13. Ivy Webster 14, and Brittany Brewer, 15, who stayed at the home over the weekend for a sleepover, were also killed. Shockingly, McFadden was scheduled to stand trial on the day authorities uncovered the gruesome scene, facing charges related to child pornography.

Who is James Fleming?
Fleming, who claims to have been McFadden's cellmate at Joseph Harp Correctional Center in 2015, has shed light on the unsettling behavior exhibited by McFadden during their time together in prison. Fleming, who was incarcerated on drug charges, shared his experience in an interview with Independent.
According to Fleming, “He [was] a very sexual person, you know, like everything that he talked about was just always sexual.” “Every time we had a conversation, he would always try to lead it up to something sexual ... the way that he tried to push it on me was just very uncomfortable,” he said.
What does James Fleming have to say about Jesse McFadden?
Fleming recounted instances of being awoken in the middle of the night by McFadden's disturbing dreams, which further highlighted his abnormal behavior. Despite being released on probation since then, Fleming admitted that McFadden's peculiarities continued to affect him for years after they were separated and sent to different facilities. “I remember telling my [new] cellmate ... just how weird he was,” Mr Fleming said. “Like he would say stuff in his sleep. And excuse my language, but he’d be like, ‘Come here, bi***. Give me that ….’ you know, you can elaborate on it.”
Fleming admitted that he was initially unaware of McFadden's sex offense conviction, but he soon realized the extent of McFadden's obsession with sexual matters. The revelations about McFadden's previous crimes completely changed Fleming's perception of him, leading him to condemn McFadden as a rapist and potential mass murderer. “[He talked about sex] all the time. I mean, it wasn’t once a week, it was all the time, all the time,” Fleming said, “And I talked to somebody yesterday and I told him, ‘If I wasn’t mentally and physically strong as I was, I believe that he would have tried to molest me in there.’”
“When you find out that about somebody, it just changes the way you think about them because it’s so horrific,” he added. “He tried to justify the rape but I knew that he got sentenced to 20 years in prison for that and you don’t get sentenced to 20 years if it’s statutory rape and you’re 18 and she’s 17 and the parents got mad at you and called the cops on you.” The Oklahoma Department of Corrections confirmed that both McFadden and Fleming were incarcerated at JHCC in 2015, but declined to provide specific details regarding their cellmate status citing protocol over security concerns.
Fleming, released in 2021, claims he tried to alert Henryetta Police Department about McFadden's dangerous history in February. Screenshots reveal his description of McFadden as a "predator with multiple offenses" in a conversation with the department's Facebook page. This comes after authorities found disturbing evidence at McFadden's property such as hand restraints, sex toys, and drug paraphernalia.
Why was Jesse McFadden released early from jail?
Prior to these events, McFadden had already served 16 years behind bars for the rape of a minor. However, he was released in 2020, three years ahead of his originally scheduled release date. This early release has sparked widespread outrage, particularly in light of the fact that McFadden had faced additional charges in 2017 for using a contraband cell phone to exchange explicit photos with a minor.
A spokesperson from the Henryetta Police Department said, McFadden's address was located in an unincorporated area of Okmulgee County, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Okmulgee Police Department. The Henryetta Police Department clarified that they would not have records of McFadden's registration due to his home address. Following his release from prison in October 2020, McFadden was arrested the following month but was later released on a $25,000 bond while awaiting trial. The trial was repeatedly delayed, partly due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Furthermore, Fleming's account added to the disturbing layer of McFadden's profile, contributing to the public's outrage over his early release and the apparent lack of appropriate action regarding the charges of soliciting a minor. This has raised serious questions about the criminal justice system's handling of sex offenders and the potential risks posed by early releases.
The parents of Ivy and Brittany, who were friends of the victims and stayed at the house where the murders occurred, have stated that they were unaware of McFadden's prior conviction for raping a minor. Similarly, Guess' mother claimed to have only recently discovered this information. While McFadden was listed on the state's sex offender registry, it remains unclear whether local registries are easily accessible to the public. Under Oklahoma law, registered sex offenders are prohibited from being within a 2,000-foot radius of schools or childcare facilities. The case raises concerns about the effectiveness of monitoring and enforcing restrictions placed on sex offenders to ensure public safety.
