Jack Thompson (born July 25, 1951) is an American activist and former lawyer. He is known for being an activist against sex and violence in video games.[1] He has also fought against rap music, mainly because of its obscenity.
In July 2008, Thompson was permanently disbarred, meaning his license to be a lawyer was taken away. That was done because of bad behavior and saying things that were not true to tribunals.[2]
Thompson was born in Cleveland, Ohio.
