Former Judge George Sentenced to Jail

Former Fort Bend County Judge KP George is behind bars after being sentenced to 180 days and a $5,000 fine for money laundering — a felony stemming from his use of over $46,000 from campaign donors for personal expenses like a house down payment. He also faces five years of probation and a suspended 10-year prison sentence that could activate if he violates probation. His defense argued the actions were routine and money was repaid, but prosecutors disagreed. The drama isn’t over — George still faces trial for misdemeanor identity fraud, accused of creating fake social media accounts to boost his re-election, which he claims were racist attacks.
