Here Comes the Judge

A French judge is under investigation for "sexual exposure" after a newspaper reported that he masturbated while a lawyer pleaded her case. The 39-year-old judge, who was not identified, masturbated for several minutes on Wednesday while listening to a female lawyer addressing the court in a dispute between neighbors, the regional paper La Charente Libre said. A reporter for the paper saw the judge "making unambiguous gestures after discreetly lifting his judicial robe and opening his trousers."
