Ex-NBA star Kermit Washington is finally admitting he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in charitable donations on himself ... pleading guilty to 3 felonies in federal court.
TMZ Sports broke the story ... Washington -- a former All-Star -- was arrested in May 2016, and accused of orchestrating a fraudulent scheme where he took a large amount of money intended to help Africans in need.
Washington initially pled not guilty, but changed his tune this week ... pleading guilty to aggravated identity theft and 2 counts of filing false income tax returns.
