Hey, remember back in 2004 when we were all freaked out about the primaries, and this little story about a judge who liked to “pump it up” in court broke into the news? Well, it took them long enough, but the Oklahoma Supreme Court disbarred him.
Judge disbarred for using sex device at trial :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Nation
OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma Supreme Court on Tuesday disbarred a former judge who served prison time for using a sexual device while presiding over trials.
Former Creek County District Judge Donald Thompson, 61, was accused of using a ‘‘penis pump’’ in court and convicted in June 2006 on four counts of indecent exposure. You know, that thing like in the one Austin Powers movie.
Thompson was released in April after serving 20 months of a four-year prison term and has had to register as a sex offender. He was suspended from the bar association in late 2006.v The opinion written by Supreme Court Justice John Reif states that discipline less than disbarment has been imposed in cases involving felony convictions.
They decided to make an exception and disbar him in addition to making him serve time and be labeled a sex offender, because of the lengthy frequency duration number of instances over time that the offenses occurred while he was a judge – in some cases, in open court.
Boy, there is just no good way to blog this without unintended jocularity crudiditity.
