Convicted Penis Pump Judge Argues Sentence Too Stiff
TULSA, OK—Convicted penis pump judge Donald Thompson has tried just about every argument he can think of to gain his release from prison and after being denied parole in December, now he’s arguing that his sentence is for masturbating on the bench is too stiff.
The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board voted unanimously in December against granting early release to the former Creek County jurist. Thompson, 60, had been sentenced to four consecutive one-year jail terms and fined $40,000 last August for indecent exposure after he was found guilty last June of four felony counts following a three week jury trial.
He claims the penis pump was a gag gift on his 50th birthday from a friend and despite witness accounts, including police officers, he claims he never used it and that his sentence is too harsh. Thompson had filed a motion asking to remain free pending appeal but it was denied. Prosecutors say that Thompson hasn’t shown any remorse for his actions. Special prosecutor Richard Smothermon told the parole board that the ex-judge had turned down a plea deal which would have spared him prison time in exchange for a guilty plea to a single misdemeanor.
