OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (Reuters) - An Oklahoma judge
facing removal over charges that he masturbated and
used a device for enhancing erections under his robes
during trials said on Wednesday he would retire from
the bench.

Creek County District Judge Donald Thompson, 57, wrote
to Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry resigning effective Sept.
1, a move that will allow him to retire with a full
pension.

A former state representative and a judge for 22
years, Thompson was accused by state Attorney General
Drew Edmondson of using a "penis pump" to enhance
erections during trials and exposing himself to a
court reporter several times while masturbating on the
bench.

The state Court on the Judiciary was scheduled to hear
a motion on Friday to suspend Thompson.

The judge has denied the charges and did not refer to
them in his letter of resignation.

"I have greatly enjoyed my public service and offer my
gratitude for the public trust reposed in me during
the terms I served," he said.
