Penis-Pumping Judge Faces Three Felony Counts | The Legal Reader | 1.21.05
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…) 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.
…If convicted of the indecent exposure counts, Thompson could face a maximum of 10 years in prison on each charge.

The charges do not seem over-inflated…
