Indecent Exposure Judge Loses Retirement

Donald Thompson, a former judge in Oklahoma who made headlines for being convicted of indecent exposure, has lost an appeal that claimed he should be eligible for his retirement benefits he earned while on the job. The benefits are worth approximately $8,000 per month.

Thompson’s legal woes included testimony that he used a penis pump while on the bench during trials. In fact, his nickname since his charges became public has been the “Penis Pump Judge”.

According to the retirement board, Thompson’s use of the penis pump violated his oath and thus voided any benefits he was to receive in retirement — even though he was on the bench for decades before he was found guilty on the charges.

Prior to becoming a judge, Thompson was a former Oklahoma legislator. Although he lost this latest legal battle, the former judge and convicted felon says tht he is taking the matter to the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
