Former U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after a jury found him guilty earlier this year of 23 fraud charges related to a four-year scheme to defraud charitable donors and illegally use their cash for personal expenses and to finance his campaigns for office.
In addition to the lengthy prison sentence, Lee Rosenthal, who serves as chief judge of the Southern District of Texas, also ordered Stockman to pay $1 million in restitution and serve three years of supervised release.
