OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - A former U.S. state judge, who allegedly used a sex toy called a penis pump in court, has been charged with three felony counts of indecent exposure by Oklahoma authorities.

Former Judge Donald Thompson, 58, pleaded not guilty in the Creek County District Court in the northeastern Oklahoma town of Sapulpa. If convicted, Thompson could face up to 10 years in prison for each count.

At the courthouse on Thursday, Thompson was taken to a backroom where he provided a DNA sample to authorities.

15. grosser yet...

is that they were taking samples from his seat, the carpet, etc. around his bench... to look for semen. Ewww.

Sorry but the whole thing is just gross. Jerking off while someone is trying to get judicial attention/remedy/hearing, etc. ICK.

Imagine the level of arrogance (I can do anything, I am a judge) and compulsion (can't prevent self to wait until after hearings) that led to this situation. Then imagine having to deal with this person in daily life. Again... ICK.

"Pump" Judge Gets Popped
Charge former Oklahoma jurist with exposing self on bench
JANUARY 21--The Oklahoma judge who was forced from the bench last year for using a penis pump in court (among other really gross acts) was charged yesterday with indecent exposure for his judicial indiscretions. Donald Thompson, 58, entered a not guilty plea yesterday to three felony counts during an appearance in Creek County District Court, where he worked until resigning last August. According to the below yucky probable cause affidavit, Thompson exposed himself during three separate 2003 cases (two of which were murder trials). For example, on May 13, while he was presiding over State v. Kurt Arnold Vomberg (who was accused of killing his girlfriend's 21-month-old daughter), Thompson loudly pumped himself up. Two court employees told investigators that they saw Thompson (pictured in the mug shot at right) attach the suction device to his penis, while five jurors reported hearing whooshing sounds, which they thought were coming from either a bicycle pump, blood pressure cuff, or an air cushion on the judge's chair.
