January 5, 2006 -- A judge accused of masturbating on the bench will rise as a defendant thanks to one of his former employees — a court reporter who kept detailed records of the gavel-grabber's allegedly indecent behavior.
Donald Thompson, a one-time Creek County, Okla., district judge, must appear on four indecent-exposure charges because there was enough evidence to prosecute, a judge ruled Tuesday, according to the Daily Oklahoman newspaper.

Lone prosecution witness Lisa Foster gave two hours of testimony describing how Thompson allegedly pleasured himself with a penis pump while presiding over criminal and civil trials — and once even shaved his nether region while in court, the newspaper said.

While Foster, Thompson's court reporter for 15 years, kept the judge's alleged activities from February 2001 to September 2003 mostly to herself, she documented them, even taking pictures of the pump.

She sometimes typed "SH SH" to describe the sounds coming from the bench. She wrote the initials "P in T" [penis in tube] once in her notes, the paper said.

Foster said the judge even pumped away while presiding over a horrendous criminal trial involving a child-abuse fatality.
