A Fort Bend County jury found County Judge KP George guilty on two counts of money laundering, for which he is facing two to ten years behind bars. KP George has chosen the judge to decide on his punishment.
George’s punishment phase will begin on June 16, according to an agreement between the prosecution and defense. George is being held on a $20,000 bond, which is $10,000 for each charge of money laundering. In addition, he had to give up his US passport.
According to the law, KP George will be removed from office upon conviction, district attorneys in the courtroom informed FOX 26. But George won’t be officially removed until he has received his sentence. The commissioners of Fort Bend County may then divide George’s duties or appoint a temporary replacement.
