Attorneys Ask for New Prosecutor for Judge Harris

Defense attorneys have formally asked for a special prosecutor in the indecent exposure case against a Tulsa County district judge to be removed.

Attorneys for Judge Jessie Harris claimed in a court filing Monday that the Washington County District Attorney Rick Esser's office prepared two different sets of charges against in an improper attempt to force Harris to resign.

Harris is charged in Tulsa County with felony indecent exposure for allegedly exposing and fondling himself in front of two women in the parking lot of an east Tulsa motel.

Esser was appointed special prosecutor by the attorney general.
