UPDATE II (submitted by gekkogecko)
Former Judge Charged with Indecent Exposure

OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - A former state judge, who
allegedly used a sex toy called a penis pump in court,
was charged with three felony counts of indecent
exposure by Oklahoma authorities on Thursday.
Former Judge Donald Thompson, 58, pleaded not guilty
in the Creek County District Court in the northeastern
Oklahoma town of Sapulpa. If convicted, Thompson could
face up to 10 years in prison for each count.
At the courthouse on Thursday, Thompson was taken to a
backroom where he provided a DNA sample to
authorities.
Last year, a court reporter who worked for Thompson
was fired after she said she saw the judge masturbate
and use the penis pump during hearings. Other
witnesses claimed they saw Thompson use the pump in
court.
Thompson stepped down in August after the allegations
came to light and the state attorney general acted to
remove him from the bench.
Officials searched Thompson's courtroom and chambers,
and performed tests on carpet, a chair, a trash can
and the judge's robe.
A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for March 22.
