A US judge will go on trial today charged with three counts of indecent exposure after allegedly masturbating using a “penis pump” while presiding over a murder case. Witnesses claim they could hear the noise of the device coming from beneath the robes of Donald Thompson as he sat on the bench. The 58-year-old former district judge had served at Creek County Court, Oklahoma, where he was charged, for 22 years. The sex toy will be presented as evidence during the trial. The court has also permitted testimony that a second pump was seen under Judge Thompson’s bench, despite his lawyers’ attempts to get the evidence barred. Thompson faces 10 years in prison and a £11,000 (20,000 dollar) fine for each offence. If convicted he would also have to register as a sex offender when released from prison. He is accused of using the pump during two murder trials and a civil case in 2003. Jurors claim they heard what sounded like a bicycle pump or blood-pressure pump. One “heard ’a swooshing kind of air, like kind of ch, ch’ and saw Thompson making some movement with his upper body and arms“, according to documents filed by the state attorney general. Court reporter Lisa Foster told authorities she saw the bespectacled judge attach and use the device almost daily during one trial, and that the sounds could be heard on the tape she made. She claims she made notes when she saw Thompson using the pump during that trial and another first-degree murder trial in August 2003. The bizarre events were also witnessed by police officers giving evidence, the papers say. According to an affidavit, a court-ordered DNA sample confirms the fluids found in his old courtroom and office were semen. Judge C Allen McCall has not yet decided whether jurors will get to hear Ms Foster’s audio recording. Thompson claims the pump was just a joke gift from a friend. Both sides will begin quizzing a 350-member jury pool at the Oklahoma court today. The trial is expected to last about two weeks. |
