Chrome Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Judge Suspected of Masturbating in Court Thu Jun 24, 2004 02:32 PM ET OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - Oklahoma's attorney general wants a state judge removed on suspicion he frequently masturbated and used a device for enhancing erections while his court was in session, a spokesman for the office said on Thursday. Attorney General Drew Edmondson filed a petition on Wednesday with state judicial authorities seeking the removal of Sapulpa District Judge Donald Thompson, 57, for "conduct constituting an offense involving moral turpitude in violation of the Oklahoma Constitution." Thompson was not immediately available for comment. The judge, elected to the bench in the state's nonpartisan judicial elections, is based about 80 miles northeast of Oklahoma City. In the petition, the attorney general charged Thompson used a penis pump, a device billed as providing sexual pleasure and promising better erections and larger penis size, during trials and exposed himself to a court reporter several times while masturbating on the bench. "On one occasion, Ms. (Lisa) Foster (Thompson's court reporter for 15 years), saw Judge Thompson holding his penis up and shaving underneath it with a disposable razor while on the bench," the petition reads. Several witnesses, including jurors in Thompson's court and police officers called to testify in trials, said in the petition they heard the "swooshing" sound of a penis pump during trials and saw the judge slumped in his chair, with his elbows on his knees, working the device. The witnesses said the pump sounded like a blood pressure cuff being pumped up. According to the petition, Thompson admitted he had a penis pump under the bench during a murder trial but he told investigators it was a gag gift from a friend. The petition also charges Thompson with firing his former court reporter after she cooperated with investigators. Quote
doubleM Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 That's really gouche. If I was a judge, shaving my balls in court, I wouldn't be caught dead using a disposable razor! Quote
DTMX Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 I thought all judges liked to pound the gavel now and then. Quote

On the bench? Hasn't this guy ever heard of the employee breakroom? Quote

Okay, I'll go along with that. But THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU ARE FREE TO MAKE USE OF IT WHEN COURT IS IN SESSION! Your honor, I OBJECT! Quote
