Outspoken critic of the video game industry, former California State Senator Leland Yee has pleaded guilty to charges of racketeering, the United States Department of Justice announced. Yee was arrested as part of a sting operation in March 2014 and initially pleaded not guilty the following month.

Now, things have changed.

As part of the guilty plea, Yee, 66, admitted his participation in two “criminal enterprises” related to his 2011 mayoral campaign and his Secretary of State campaign, according to a news release from the Department of Justice. You can see a summary of what Yee admitted to below.

• Accepted $10,000 in exchange for using his influence as a state senator to assist in the process of obtaining a grant from the California Department of Public Health
• Conspired to extort money from individuals by suggesting he would cast favorable votes for specific legislation only if the money were paid
• Accepted a $11,000 bribe in exchange for arranging a meeting with another state senator to discuss specific legislation
• Conspired with others to purchase weapons in the Philippines and import them illegally into the United States
• Provided more than $6,000 in cash to a campaign aid knowing the aid would launder the money by arranging to convert the cash into checks made payable to Yee’s Secretary of State campaign.

Yee was indicted by a federal grand jury in January 2015. As part of his new plea agreement, Yee pleaded guilty to the racketeering charges mentioned above, while other charges–including conspiracy to traffic in firearms–have been dismissed, according to the release.

“Mr. Yee must now live with the consequences of betraying the trust that was placed in him when he became a public servant,” US attorney Melinda Haag said in a statement. “It is particularly disappointing and troubling when our elected officials violate their obligation to fairly represent their constituents. This office will continue to devote the resources necessary to ensure that our elected officials govern within the law.”

“Senator Yee’s admission of guilt today brings some measure of justice to the true victims of his crimes: the people of the state of California,” FBI special agent David Johnson added. “When a public official uses his office for personal gain and as a platform for illegal activity, he not only betrays the people who elected him to office, but undermines the core principles of our system of government.”

Yee is currently free pending a sentencing hearing. Sentencing will take place on October 21, 2015 in San Francisco. Yee faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000.

Some of Yee’s other former associates have also pleaded guilty to racketeering charges and more. More information about the cases, including full court documents, are available here.

Yee is best known to gamers as the man who put forth the much-publicized violent game law that the United States Supreme Court struck down in 2011.
