Former Masturbating Judge Busted For DUI
Meet former Creek County, Oklahoma District Judge Donald Thompson, who we sometimes refer to as “The Masturbating Judge”.
It seems that Thompson is in trouble with the law again.
No, not for playing with his sex toys in public, like previously.
This time Thompson was busted for allegedly driving while under the influence.
This after a state trooper saw a vehicle stopped on the outside shoulder of the Creek Turnpike east of Elwood Avenue, in Tulsa. When the trooper investigated he allegedly found the former judge to have slurred speech, bloodshot eyes and a strong odor of alcohol on his breath and Thompson’s vehicle to have damage to the driver’s side and a flat tire.
Reportedly Thompson said he could not remember how his car got a flat tire and damage to its driver’s side. However the mystery did not remain a mystery for long as the trooper later discovered Thompson had had hit a bridge wall on the turnpike.
Allegedly Thompson’s breath test revealed a blood-alcohol content of 0.11 and he was arrested on a DUI charge.
Tulsa Jail records indicate that Thompson was arrested on a DUI charge at 3:00 a.m. on 12/05/08 and booked into the Tulsa jail at 5:30 a.m. Jail records also indicate that Thompson was released on $1,000 bond at 10:47 a.m. the same day.
Thompson in addition to being a former Creek County district judge is also a convicted felon and registered sex offender who was released from prison in April after serving two years of four one-year sentences on four felony counts of indecent exposure after being convicted on allegations that he used a penis pump, shaved his scrotum and masturbated while on the bench during trials in Creek County, Oklahoma in 2002 and 2003.
WHAT ABOUT THIS JUDGE??? Bubba World should expose THIS judge.
Oklahoma Judge Richard Kirby Overturned – but Two had already Suffered Unconsitutional Jail Sentences at the hands of his honor
The Oklahoma Supreme Court overturned Associate Judge Richard Kirby, who jailed two litigants for Direct Contempt of Court, holding that the litigants’ constitutional rights were violated by Judge Richard Kirby (see In Re J.H., 2008 OK 104). While the Court of Civil Appeals upheld Judge Richard Kirby in his Direct Contempt of the two litigants, the Oklahoma Supreme Court opted to actually apply the Constitution. The Supreme Court was concerned with those pesky little things called CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS! You know, like oversight by Judge Richard Kirby of the right to due process – both substantive and procedural – the right to counsel when one is at risk to lose liberty/freedom etc. As it turns out, Judge Richard Kirby denied the litigants due process by charging them with “direct contempt of court” – as opposed to the proper charge Judge Richard Kirby could have brought, if there was one, of “indirect contempt of court.” While there is a well-reasoned dissent supporting Judge Richard Kirby’s decision, ultimately the Supreme Court reversed in a 7 to 2 decision mandating that all litigants in future such contempt proceedings be given the fundamental rights to notice, adequate time for preparing a defense, a jury trial (if demanded) etc. Unfortunately for the two litigants involved, the Supreme Court’s ruling is of little consequence – they had long since served the unconsitutional sentences, improvidently doled out by Judge Richard Kirby, in the Oklahoma County Jail prior to the appeal. Someone had to pay the tuition cost for Judge Richard Kirby’s constitutional education. It is just sad that two people had to suffer an unconsititional jail sentence to pay for Judge Richard Kirby’s eduction in the fundamental legal principles on which this nation was founded! Unlike the student loan program, there is no way Judge Richard Kirby can repay the debt to the litigants who paid dearly for his education by serving jail time. Merry Christmas to those who were wrongly jailed at the hands of his honor.
WHy only pick on certain people? Sure, the public TOTALLY needs to know about this guy! Why not acts by other judges? Like Judge Kirby making two people serve a jail sentence later determined to be unconsitutional? What about the OCU Law School Dean and the Federal Suit filed against him for sexual discrimination? The people need to know about those things as well!!!
To Joe: Your’re absolutely right. Why just focus on THIS judge when there are so many others (judges, cops, lawyers) who engage in dirty dealings. There are two problems when it comes to exposing these things: for one, crookedness is happening EVERYWHERE, EVERYDAY, ALL THE TIME. I don’t think there’s a courtroom in America who doesn’t see corruption of some sort on a fairly regular basis. It is just plain impossible to expose all the trash. Secondly, this Thompson character gets more attention, I think, mainly because of the nature of his crime. So many of them, like the one you mentioned are predictable and just not “sexy enough”. Judges going against the constitution rights of citizens no longer raises eyebrows and is considered mundane and expected.
“Masturbating judge” is quite a mouthful. Why not just start referring to him as the “Jack off judge”.?
If I understand the Kirby story well, this man may be a villain but he’s quite sane. What baffles me in the Thompson case, is that for four years a total wacko, an asylum case, was in the opportunity to work the bench. Simply because his subordinates were scared to blow the whistle on him.
What is utterly unsettling, is the fact that they very often don’t even have to apologize for any wrongdoings and bad assessements. As if the wrongly convicted don’t matter at all.
In The Netherlands, a man was arrested for the extreme gruesome rape-murder of a child in a city park. Her companion of 11 years old survived only by keeping himself dead, kicked and stabbed as he was. Cees B, proven to be there at the time, cracked down, confessed, was found guilty and send off to do life, although his DNA didn’t match. Among other things.
Four years later a man walked into a precinct and politely told the cops that he was Nienke’s killer. He presented all the details only the killer could have known (and later on there was matching DNA retrieved) The officer in charge phoned the attorny of the Cees B case, a Mrs Stuyt. She told the man: ‘I’m certainly not going to re-open this case, don’t take the statement of this man serious, send him home.’
Two months later another officer found out about this, started an investigation, the case was re-opened. The confession appeared to have been extracted under pressure and Cees B got released from jail and from blame. But four months in jail, known as a childmolester and killer, it must have been like eight years in hell.
When the true killer got sentenced to life, attorny Stuyt had the incredible nerve to say: ‘I’m glad justice has spoken.’ Till this day she, who would have let Cees B. rot in hell because such suited the bitch, still works as an attorny. Talking about injustice. We have quite a few of these ‘miscarriages of justice’ by now. They cost the state millions in compensations. And the misdemeaners still hold their positions.
I wrote a sarcastic column (in Dutch) on the Thompson case already in 2006, I now take the liberty to rewrite and republish it on my Dutch weblog, because at the time I didn’t know Thompson was taken to court. And this penis pump demonstration is too hilarious not to use.
No plagiate, I write all my actualities in my own words, I will quote from bubbaworld only those lines that were literally spoken in the courtroom and I also add a link to this – very interesting – website.
One few other things. Thompson posessed two penis pumps (probably more?). The one used in the courtroom as evidence piece, was obviously not the broken down birthday present. Defender Brewster could have anticipated this. But nowhere do I read about any accusations of a ‘switch up’.
And why did his mistress have to go on trial? Because she fled and stayed out of police hands, thus ignoring a court order? I mean, her participating in a home-made porn video can’t be against the law in Oklahoma, can it?
Yeah, you’re right. The trash is everywhere. The problem is that “the system” handles the outrageous! Judge Thompson is a good example of that fact. There is no way he was going to get away with what he did. It is a shame we have become so apathetic that we no longer care when people like Judge Richard Kirby strip away our constitutional rights. I simply don’t know how, after the appeal court said he was wrong, that there was no public outcry about the fact that Judge Richard Kirby made two Oklahomans spend time in jail against their rights. Isn’t there any responsibility? Doesn’t Judge Kirby have to face some sort of consequences? No penalty because he is “JUDGE Richard Kirby?” That means Judge Richard Kirby or any other Judge can now violate our rights and there is nothing anyone can or will do about it? I think someone, somewhere in “the system” that is supposed to be there to protect us from people violating our rights should deal with people like Judge Richard Kirby?????????
There is a study that was done regarding children in the Oklahoma legal system. It has not been published or released. In fact, a preliminary report was issued, but a final report never rendered. It allegedly charges that public guardians have cases in excess of that which make them effective. It also allegedly charges that standards are being ignored or not complied with at the Juvi court. Judge Richard Kirby presides over the Juvi court. The report allegedly states that Judge Richard Kirby is not doing his job. Yet, OKDHS sings him a hero’s tune? Why can’t we see the report? Is Judge Richard Kirby hiding information that may be critical of his job performance. Why is it that Judge Richard Kirby’s conduct is only being exposed here? Apparently, based on the case cited above, he seems to ignore the Constitutional rights of people in his court. Why is no one interested in looking into the potential misconduct of Judge Richard Kirby? Practicing lawyers will not say anything for fear of retribution, yet there is allegedly a study exposing the system’s failure with Judge Richard Kirby at the helm. Does anyone else see a problem with this potential political game putting abused Oklahoma Children in the middle????
I agree that the the Masturbating Judge is a disgrace. He deserved to spend time in jail/prison. Judge Thompson could not have been “mentally stable” when he engaged in those acts. Nonetheless, those acts were criminal acts. Having said that, is it true that Judge Richard Kiirby actually unconstitutionally put two people in jail? If so, what is being done to bring Judge Kirby’s misconduct into public view? Why would his conduct, or the conduct of any other jurist, be excluded from public exposure? If Judge Kirby did wrongfully jail people, this is this not an abuse of authority that should be some how addressed by the system? If not, Judge Kirby’s conduct, just like that of Judge Thompson’s masturbation, should be “outed” for voters to see.
I agree that what Judge Thompson, a/k/a the “Masturbating Judge”, was criminal. I’m glad that bubbaworld has exposed him and even more glad that he was punished. This terrible misconduct embarassing not only to Oklahoma, but the entire Judiciary and, even more importantly, the legal profession as a whole. At least Judge Thompson’s sentence sends a message that the legal profession will actually police itself. As for Judge Richard Kirby, I agree with the above – why has his misconduct not been exposed? I read the case above, In Re J.H., and believe that Judge Kirby’s misconduct should be publicy chided. It is the only way that our profession can maintain credibility with the public. After reading In Re J.H. it is apparent that Judge Kirby “should have known” the correct procedure was “indirect contempt.” A simple reading of the applicable statute makes that clear. It seems that he had a knee-jerk reaction to litigants challenging his authority, i.e. not complying with his order, and did not exercise “good judgment.” Is not “good judgment” the heart of his position as a “Judge?” The Oklahoma people, generally, do not read Appellate Rulings. Thus, it is imperative that some forum communicate the truth to Oklahomans regarding judicial performance (or non-performance). I agree with the above – In Re J.H. should be communicated to all Oklahomans and especially to those in Judge Kirby’s district (if he has one, i.e. is not an “At Large” Judge). Information is key to the public using “good judgment” to elect their judges. Each voter can form his/her own conclusions and make his/her own decision with the information, but without the facts, each voter cannot make a truly informed decision to ratify or reject their judges performance! We, in the legal profession, owe it to the public to communicate judicial performance – good or bad!!
It seems to me that there is no interest in this matter. It is a shame because Judges should – and must – be held to the highest standards. Unfortunately, if a Judge does something “illegal” – like jailing people without observation of their constitutional rights – there are no consequences. When will we finally do something about power-running-amoc??
I do not understand two things: 1)Why are judges not held accountable? If Judge Richard Kirby was any other type of “politician” (since he is elected) and he violated citizens’ constitutional rights, he would be held accountable … he would FIRED or forced to resign. There would be investigations etc. 2) Why do people like Judge Richard Kirby go “unoticed” by the public and media? What Judge Kirby did is shameful, at the very least, but it takes someone masturbating on the bench to get any attention!! Yes, what Judge Thompson did was HORRIBLE … but does conduct have to be that OUTRAGEOUS before we hold our “officers of justice” accountable????
What is it with Oklahoma Judges? One of them convicted for actually masturbating on the bench! WOW! Shocking and disgusting! One of them putting people in jail while ignoring their constitutional rights? WOW! Also shocking and disgusting. Now Judge Allen Welch allegedly ruled not to remove a child from a home that was covered in dog fecies and subsequently, the father killed the mother and then himself! I appreciate bubbaworld’s reporting on the Masturbating Judge, but when will someone look into the performance of other judges … when someone dies? WELL IT HAPPENED!!!
what in the world is wrong with true love? Has the greatest State in the Union become cynical and jaded? for shame… for shame. The higher primate is so so very complicated. Go Sooners.
but seriously, we in DC, love Tom Coburn… the GREATEST Senator in history.
If you knew what he was really doing for the last 10 years,He would be put in prison for longer. Check the civil cases He had while being a “judge”.
Judge Kirby is fixing to strike again. He is fixing to put another person in jail for the same thing these two people went. She had the nerve to expose corruption being done by DHS and the courts involvement and for that they are going to throw her in jail.
I have been working in the courthouse for several years and I am aware of both cases. In the first case, if you read the opinion, the parents that Judge Kirby locked up came to Court “high” on meth and cocaine not once but 3 times over a period of several months.J udge Kirby locked them up for contempt for one weekend after warning them at the previous court date that he would. What is interesting is that I was in Court and heard the parents say that it was the best thing that happended to them because it woke them up they have been sober for nearly a year and have got their kids back. In the case Dana talks about, the woman referred to is a grandmother that has a case that has been going on for a while, and the DA filed a contempt charge because the grandmother, among other things, put the pictures of her grandchildren on TV and the internet, and identified the children as foster children, which violates the children’s privacy and the law. the kids immediately started getting “teasing” phone calls from their friends about the fact thatthey were foster children. No decision has been made, but if you ask me, that woman cares more about getting a check than her granchildren.
I’m the grandmother that’s fighting for my grandchildren and I’m not planning on stopping until there is justice.
Everyone that’s involved with my grandchildrens case deserved to be held accountable for their actions.
This is wrong for what they have done to this family. My grandsons are even more damaged and traumatized than ever, being in foster care, being moved from placement to placement and all the while being alienated from me their biological and maternal grandmother. I love my grandchildren! With Every ounce of blood that’s flowing through my veins going through my body.
My grandchildren they know that I am here,Yet! They don’t get to see m e. That’s pure torture.
Tara Bone a DHS supervisor now, located on the NW 10th street office, is determined to get my grandsons adopted out.
Oklahoma DHS- PLAIN AND SIMPLE IT’S JUST CORRUPTED.
IT’S NOT ABOUT THE CHILDREN, IT’S ABOUT THE DHS RECEIVING MONEY.
THEY RECEIVE BIG MONEY FOR ADOPTING CHILDREN OUT.
I’m a 5 x graduated of Stratford Career Institute. I financial establishedd to take care of my daughters children. I have moved to Oklahoma from Nevada. I am an Army Veteran. I am not a felon. I have a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car garage home, that’s over 2,000 square feet. Plenty of room for my grandchildren.
DHS has denied the request on many many occasions to do a homestudy of my home so that my grandchildren can get out of foster care. They have made phone calls to Bare Foundation stating to them not to license my home. They have violated my grandchildren’s rights and my rights as a grandmother of not being able to have visitation.
DHS has broken several violations according to their policy and procedures.
My grandchildren has been in Oklahoma Foster Care System since 3.2.2006. My daughter has relinquished her parental rights by coercion of the DHS. The initial case worker Tara Bone is the culprit behind this unprofessional and prejudice act.
My grandchildren has been alienated from me. I haven’t seen them since 2-16-2010.
IT’S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY. It’s about my precious and adorable grandchildren. From the way that you speak on here. You must be Tara Bone that’s been on my grandchildren’s case from day one. From 3-2-2006.
MONEY! ARE YOU SERIOUS? HECK I DON’T NEED NO MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF MY GRANDBABIES. IT’S ALL LOVE. PURE AND SIMPLE.
DHS has my grandchildren goin from place to place, just floating in the foster care system. That’s wrong.
My grandchildren are medicated, alienated, damaged and traumatized, “THAT’S SURE NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILDREN”
TARA BONE IS A VERY EVIL, EVIL WOMAN! A WICKED PERSON SHE IS. THEY ALL NEED TO LOCKED UP AND THE KEYS THROWN AWAY.
JUDGE RICHARD W KIRBY, TARA BONE OF DHS, HOWARD HENDRICK OF DHS, ASST DA JANE BROWN, AND ASST PD RYAN HAUSER FOR INFLICTING EMOTIONAL HARM, DAMAGE AND TRAUMATIZING MY 5 GRANDSONS.
My grandsons has been in the system 5 years and 5 months, when they don’t need to be. All from devious and malicious acts from these oklahoma wicked and evil folks.These folks that work in DHS such as Tara Bone at 7201 NW 10th Street Office are cold blooded, heartless and pure evil.
