Imprisoned former Ohio House speaker (R) indicted on 10 new state-level felony charges [View all]

Former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder is facing 10 new state-level felony charges stemming from alleged ethics violations and misusing campaign finances, according to a news release from the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.

A Cuyahoga County grand jury indicted Householder on the following:

One count of theft in office (F1)
Two counts of aggravated theft (F2)
One count of telecommunications fraud (F2)
One count of money laundering (F3)
Five counts of tampering with records (F3)

According to the AG’s Office, the ex-speaker misused campaign money to pay for his federal defense and did not “accurately complete Join Legislative Ethics Committee filings.” If he’s convicted of theft in office, he would be disqualified from holding public office again in Ohio.
