Longtime state legislator Nathaniel T. Oaks pleaded guilty in March to federal corruption charges. The 71-year-old Baltimore Democrat admitted to a pair of felony fraud offenses. He took $15,300 in payments in exchange for aiding an FBI informant posing as an out-of-town developer. He was sentenced to 3½ years in federal prison followed by three years supervised release.
