In January 2017, Sitompul was investigated alongside several other justices on the Constitutional Court in relation to a graft scandal. Chief Justice Arief Hidayat cleared Sitompul and colleague I Dewa Gede Palguna of any wrongdoing, but found evidence of bribery in an animal health case that led to the dismissal of their (former) colleague Patrialis Akbar.[3]

On 8 December 2023, he retired from the Constitutional Court.
