Judge of the Day: Jesse Harris
What’s with Oklahoma judges and indecent exposure? Our only other Oklahoman Judge of the Day, State Judge Donald Thompson, was sentenced to four years for indecent exposure (and using a penis pump) in the courtroom in 2006.
Today’s honoree is a Tulsa County district judge from the criminal division. He too seems to have trouble keeping the goods under wrap, and is facing felony charges for it:
Judge Jesse Harris was charged Thursday with two counts of indecent exposure resulting from a March 9 incident involving an ex-girlfriend and her friend in a parking lot at an east Tulsa motel. He was arrested and after being booked at the Tulsa Jail, he was released on his own recognizance. Harris denies the allegations.
Tulsa World refrained from giving a graphic description of the encounter. But the arresting officer spilled all the dirt in the affidavit [PDF]:

Victim one is Harris’s ex-girlfriend, Kali Nolen. According to Tulsa World, she and Harris met when she was a process server during a 2002 lewd molestation trial. Such a romantic story…

First!
Guys at my high school used to expose themselves to people all the time. It was no big deal. Guys at my high school were also named Paul Ruebens.
This is all BS. I heard there is a witness that will testify that the girls were shouting "make it rain" the whole time.
You can change the name of this website to sexually related legal topics by Kasmir Hill (stage name, not real name).
There's no victim here. What's wrong with the exposure of some semi-turgid peen amongst friends.? Damn Tulsa.
Any guesses on the pet name assigned the semi-turgid member? "The Gavel"? "The Well Hung Juror"? "The Scotus Scrotus"?
11.23, I believe it was Hammer of Thor (capitals requested).
"Blinding Justice"
Nolen reported to police that Harris was touching himself, and ''asked her if she missed his penis (referring to it by a pet name they shared),'' the report states.
Nolen said Friday that the pet name was ''anaconda.''
What a man does outside of his car, in the parking lot of a motel, in front of two people is nobody's business but his own...
Better yet, what about something like "nine inch long arm of the law"
So a NY partner who got a lap dance at his desk is "too dirty" for ATL but we get treated to descriptions of an Okie judge's semi-turgid penis?
Kash you are a dirty dirty little pirate...
Ok, at first I thought all of these sexual themed posts by Kash were just an odd coincidence or something. Now I am definitely coming around to the conclusion that she is going out looking for sex stories to post on here. Maybe she needs some attention, you know, in that special place?
Semi-turgid??? Is that legalese for having a boner?
Semi-turgid haha, sounds like erotica-book language...he exposed his purple headed warrior, dubbed "Intruder" and massaged it until it stood at attention, eliciting a gasp from his female companion....LOL, take that Kash, you're not the only dirty monkey around here :)
Not your typical weenie wagger. Seems more like a "mine is bigger" throwdown coupled with a play for sentimentality (“don’t you miss Dr. Winkie?”).
Note to 2:05 pm: No, it's legalese for having a semi-boner.
I heard this judge was a real "Stiff Sentencer" /rimshot
How can I evaluate if the judge's conduct was threatening without a picture of the offending penis?
I mean, are we talking "police flashlight" size or "OB tampon" size?
You title is misleading, vile and accusatory without the benefit of a fair trial as Judge Harris has afforded many during his 22 years on the bench. It is a well known fact that “an ordinary” person “wouldn’t have even been arrested” for such an inflammatory charge from a “woman scorned.” Sounds like a “set-up” to me. The “victim” by the way has repeatedly “offered” stories to the local media - and a “glamor photo” receiving her obviously long sought “15 Mins” of fame. We support Judge Harris and rebuke the impulsive biogotry displayed by the Tulsa World, and the scandalous and reckless Asst. D.A. Why don’t you print the headline about yesterday’s action - “Asst. D.A. Accussed of Prosecutorial Misconduct” for releasing Judge Harris Social Security number, home address, etc. in the paper, and other misdeeds. It is obvious that there are shenanigans afoot…could it be the Tulsa Police, a racist Asst. D.A. Why don’t you run and tell that!!!!. Or, are you even interested in the truth? Or at least the other side of the story!!!
If read carefully, it is obvious that the "charging document" that you have so gleefully posted - was a "carefully worded" work of "fiction" meant to exact the "severest humilation" on Judge Harris. I think the accuser, D.A. and the Police Dept. schemed to topple the "Good Judge." Use your brains people. The Asst. D.A. isn't seek "justice" - he wanted to embarrash him. Your comments alone have served the bigoted Asst. D.A. and girlfriends mission!
I do not support this "judge" at all....I think he is unfair...& some may use the 'ole saying...."roosters comin home to roust". I think he is a very unfair "judge" who took his position to his head...and sent a lot of people to PRISON unjustly!!!!!
"PERMALINK".....you REALLY need to kill the talk regarding "Racist Motives" on part of the DA.
"Juge Anaconda" was a racist to his own people!!!!!
He sent alot of young & some old black people to PRISION unjustly! He degraded, humiliated, and put down his "OWN" kind before sending them to the slammer...when other useful solutions could have been given....other than a PRISION sentence! I believe without a doubt "You reap what you sow"...and I knew eventually if this "Judge" didn't get his head out of the clouds...the same low-life, no-good, degrading, black people who deserve nothing but a "stiff" sentence" (In his thoughts)...I knew he was going to have to answer to someone higher than you & I.
As you can tell....I don't support this man at ALL....he has destroyed MANY lives...and more than likely sleeps like a baby...when the lives he had destroyed many years ago are STILL dealing with his cruelty!
Do the crime...do the time....may be true...but EVERYONE and EVERY CASE deserves Prision time!
I believe he is a cruel, mean man who is now doing some of that reaping!
However, I must say in all honesty...with a bit of resentment.....I feel this man has not done something sooo bad that requires this much attention....I believe the story.....but not quite sure of the "motive"...I do not believe it is a "racist motive"...yet.....Im unsure if its a
"personal motive".
Nevertheless....I try in my heart to forgive this man for what he has done "personally" to me....and try HARD to pray(we ought to pray for those who we don't like)...its not an easy task...but with the unwarranted judgement he sentenced upon my family.....I pray for mercifully judgement when its "HIS" turn to stand before "HIS" judge here on earth.
His ex had already seen "the lil grass hopper"...so whats the big deal...what is her motive?
Jessie Harris you have been given the authority to judge and rule over other..and it went to your "BIG HEAD".....(on top of your shoulders)....Get your head out the clouds....and hopefully you will gain some type of compassion for others that you need right now.
I have read your views and comments and and I was compelled to respond. I know this man and I am probably what you would call his first love. We lived together for 3+ years in Tulsa as we were both beginnining our careeres. Now keep in mind I am from a long standing Catholic family so this was not looked upon favorably. We have always remainded friends and kept in touch. He has been an Asst. DA, Judge, married had a beautiful daughter and divorced. He has been a fair and impartial Judge. Now you may want to say he got the "Big Head" but search your history. When I came to Tulsa in 1980 we were the first Black's to hold the positions we had. It was amazing to me that in the 80's this was still uncharter teritory. You may recall the group the GAP Band--- (Greenwood,Archer and Pine Street) this was the original Black Wall Street, burned to the ground because a black man whistled at a white woman.
Now back to my point, Judge Harris was one of the first to hold such position in your area. Some of you scold him because he came down hard on your relatives as they appeard in his court. What do you think the outcome would have been had the Judge had been of a different persuasion. So please do not judge him because of how he decide on a particular case. He was doing his job. As a business owner, I have had to make some pretty tough decision that were not popular. But it is what it is. We as Black Americans are scrutinized like no other. We do our best and rely upon the Lord to take care of the rest.
Now let us get to this situtuation, think about it people, the x girlfriend is a former server. She knows the law or let us say more than most, she ask him to meet her at a motel,mind you a motel at 11:00am (lunch hour) and she has a friend their. What was the friend there for but to try and establish a wittness or some collaboration of what story that would ultimately prevail. Then to use words that they held privately to describe a personal relationship. Set up, Set up, Set up. Come on folks. I have not seen this man in 25 years but we keep in contact. As an former x, I beliveve if I called him and said I needed help he would come to meet me to at least see what he could do to possibly help. He may have the big head but I am confident that he would not jepordize 20 years on the bench for something like this.
If I am reading the information from the press correctly the x girlfirend offered her story to them with a picture. What better way to get your 15 min. of fame than this.
Oklahoma has not changed. That is why I got the h-- out of there 25 years ago. Now please understand me it is not a Black or White Thing, It is Just let us do what is right and fair. Please put your self in the same position. Does it play out. Maybe, maybe not, keep an open mind. God does not like ugly and pretty is not perfect..
Do Not be Quick to Judge
I am not surprised, because this idiot was my family court judge from 92 to 96 or 98. He was bought off by my ex's mother, (she bragged about this, though he denied it) and my ex got away with everything while this judge was in charge. My ex never paid child support (still hasn't in 16 years, finally going after him) and used to bring copies of money orders with all the numbers blacked out so you couldn't trace them, claiming he'd mailed them to me. The judge kept giving him more and more time and never did anything. My ex took our baby after getting the judge to sign a MOTION (diff from an ORDER) giving him custody in a small paragraph. I had to file a Writ, and got my son back, but it took 6 weeks, and the judge did NOTHING to my ex for doing that!!! even though I proved to the judge that he did it on purpose and it shouldve been a felony. To top it off: I remarried the next year and this idiot judge ended up in my Lamaze class for my next baby. He was SO clueless (he was in there with his then wife Yvonne, they were expecting at the same time we were) he did not even know how to put on a diaper!!!!! I remember thinking: and this guy presides over FAMILY cases???? He's a JOKE, a low class, easily bought off judge who deserves whatever embarassment and prosecution he gets.
to clarify what my ex forged, in case its confusing, the Motion was for my ex to get custody (on NO grounds which he lost later) in that Motion, he stuck in an extra little paragraph giving himself custody. he was acting as his own attorney, and did this deliberately. First you get a Motion for a hearing, a pre-trial, then the trial. he skipped all that and added that he had custody in the motion itself, which was illegal. Judge Harris finally made him give him back after 6 weeks, but he did nothing to my ex, and they were seen many times chatting alone, (against the rules!!) and his mother used to date a fellow judge friend of his, and did buy him off. no matter what my ex did, he got away with it. but ONE time, I failed to give him an "extra day" with our son to make up for a day he missed because he got arrested!...., which he never ASKED for as he was supposed to - and the judge put ME in jail for 12 hours. it was humiliating and wrong. I hope he becomes somebody's Biotch in there. He hurt my family HUGELY in the 90's. Those who claim to be friends and know him, blah blah, well you obviously didn't. He ruined lives in family court, and later in criminal court. He put away a friend of mine who'd cashed some fraudulous money orders and checks, (he was a VICTIM of a SCAM from Nigeria) without EVER listening to what had happened. My friend was tricked, and got stuck with the money owed after the checks and money orders bounced. Its called the Nigerian 411 scams. Google that. Judge harris didnt care a bit to hear about this, he just put him away and ruined his life. You reap what you sew Judge!

I'm glad to see butthead harris get a little of what he was dishing out. Many have witnessed his childlike behavior when things aren't going his way and the unevenhanded nature of his sentences. I eagerly await the day when he shows up in the papers again, only in the obits after ending his own miserable life. He is as big a racist, biggot, fascist as any you can name and is totally undeserving of his position. Time for his wardrobe to be orange or striped or whatever they want to put him in so he can be a pretty bitch for his man.
this judge took away my parental rights to be a part of my sons life becuase I couldnt afford to pay child support and my ex husband didnt allow me to visit for three years ( moved without telling me where he went )
I dunno what this world is coming to, maybe I should sell everything I own and try to go back to court... but then again I'd just meet another crooked man like this. My heart breaks and I lost my child becuase of this man, he didnt even listen to my side of the story and decided to take away all my rights to my sweet child in less than 15 minutes.
