A French judge has been caught masturbating in court.
The un-named magistrate was seen masturbating in a court in Angouleme.
Three witnesses, a lawyer, a woman in the public gallery and a journalist, all reported seeing the act.
French newspaper Charente Libre, whose reporter was among the witnesses, said it happened as an attorney was pleading his case.
The witnesses confirmed they saw the judge raise his judicial gown, open his trousers and "perform unmistakable movements".
French Justice Minister Dominique Perben has asked a judicial council to review the case, officials confirmed.
The head judge of the city's appeals court said a penal inquiry was being carried out by the police while the magistrate was expected to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
