UD District Judge Peter Messitte on Tuesday sentenced former Prince George’s County Schools Superintendent Andre Hornsby to six years in prison for illegally steering district contracts to LeapFrog Enterprises, a company run by his now ex-girlfriend, in exchange for kickbacks. Hornsby was convicted in July on six of the 22 public corruption-related counts he faced: three counts of honest service wire fraud and one count each of evidence tampering, witness tampering and obstruction of justice (earlier). Although the DOJ press release describes a second scheme in detail, the three wire fraud counts on which he was convicted all relate to the LeapFrog allegations (Baltimore Examiner).
