Ex-judge convicted in penis pump case

by Matt Bramanti · 06/30/2006 2:55 pm

A former judge in Oklahoma has been convicted of exposing himself on numerous occasions in court, even using a penis pump during arguments:

A Creek County jury late Thursday convicted a former judge who was accused of exposing himself by using a sexual device while he presided over court cases.

The panel deliberated more than five hours before returning a guilty verdict against Donald Thompson on all four counts of indecent exposure. The jury had requested a dinner break around 6:30 p.m. and sent a note to the judge at 8:49 p.m. that a decision had been reached.

Jurors recommended one year in prison and a $10,000 fine on each count against the judge, 59, who served more than 20 years on the bench in eastern Oklahoma before his retirement in 2004.

A year of hard time? That sounds pretty stiff.

Well Matt, I was working on my own post of this story, but you beat me to it. I would only point out a couple things from the story I read.

1) The judge’s pension from the state of OK is about $90k a year. Could be why gummint jobs are in such high demand. (Talk about a retirement “package.”)

2) The state’s chief witness testified that she saw him expose himself 15 times but said nothing out of fear of losing her job. Only came forward after being fired and then subpoenaed by the state for the case. Why the wait? What’s the threshold for speaking up here?

Is it illegal to use a penis pump? Did this guy get busted for showing his pee pee or using the pump under the bench?

What kind of world are we living in when a man cant play with himself in court?

The whole issue appears to be inflated to me!

Verdict rendered. What a downer.

This aint fair. Women can show 97% of their breasts and men just look and enjoy the view. A guy shows his johnson to other adults and gets thrown in jail. WTF?

It’s a good thing the judge had his robe on.
