Judge Convicted of Indecent Exposure
July 1, 2006
A former Creek County judge Donald D. Thompson was released on $75,000 bond
following his conviction Thursday on four felony counts of indecent exposure
while presiding over trials in 2002 and 2003. A jury deliberated for
five-and-a-half hours Thursday before returning a guilty verdict. The jury
recommended one year imprisonment and a $10,000 fine for each count. Special
Judge C. Allen McCall set a sentencing hearing for Aug. 14 in Bristow. Mr.
Thompson served as a judge for more than 23 years in Creek County. At his
trial, three courthouse employees testified to seeing the judge's penis
exposed while he presided over trials. Prosecutors also contended that he used
a device called a "penis pump" while presiding. Defense lawyers had dismissed
the device as a gag gift. (AP)
