Despite being sentenced to more than seven years in jail, former Prince George's County Executive Jack Johnson will still receive a good-sized annual pension, an ABC7 I-Team investigation has uncovered.

Due to a loophole in Maryland law, Johnson will collect nearly $50,000 from a pension fund, even after his conviction on federal corruption charges earlier this year.

Johnson admitted to extorting hundreds of thousands of dollars from developers and business owners while in office.
