Lori Loughlin & Husband said to plead guilty in college admission scandal
Lori and her husband seem to be put in a position where they will have no choice but face the consequences of their involvement in the scandal. According to the news the couple has agreed to do their time in prison for falsely portraying their daughters as athletes to attain their admissions into the University of Southern California.
Loughlin and her husband Giannulli were among 50 individuals charged by the FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office for fraud- and bribery-related offenses on March 12, 2019, in a large-scale nationwide college entrance exam cheating scandal. The indictment against the couple alleged that they had paid $500,000, disguised as a donation to the Key Worldwide Foundation, so the University of Southern California’s (USC’s) admissions committee would believe their two daughters would be joining the school’s women’s rowing team if admitted, when neither had trained in the sport of rowing with no plans to do so.
On March 13, 2019, Loughlin and her husband surrendered to federal authorities in Los Angeles. In their subsequent appearances at United States District Court in Los Angeles, they were released on bail of $1 million and were permitted to retain their passports and travel outside of the United States as long as they informed the court. At her court appearance in Boston on April 3, she acknowledged her rights, charges, and maximum possible penalties; Loughlin waived a pretrial hearing, signed conditions of her release, and was free to leave.
This case has been ongoing for more than a year now and it stills seems as though is has not fully been concluded as yet.
