Lori Loughlin & Her Husband To Plead Guilty To Charges In The College Admissions Scandal

It looks like the time has come for actress Lori Loughlin and her fashion designer husband Mossimo Giannulli to face their consequences for their roles in the college admissions scandal.

According to NBC News, prosecutors in Boston say, the couple has agreed to serve time in prison for allegedly passing off their daughters as athletes and attaining their admission into the University of Southern California.

Lori has agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud, and Mossimo pleads guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud and honest services wire and mail fraud.

Prosecutors say if a judge signs off on the plea deal, Loughlin will spend two months in prison, and pay a $150,000 fine. She will be subjected to two years of supervised release and perform 100 hours of community service. Mossimo has agreed to five months in prison, a $250,000 fine, two years of supervised release, and 250 hours of community service.

U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling said in a statement, “Under the plea agreements filed today, these defendants will serve prison terms reflecting their respective roles in a conspiracy to corrupt the college admissions process and which are consistent with prior sentences in this case. We will continue to pursue accountability for undermining the integrity of college admissions.”

As previously reported, last year, fellow actress Felicity Huffman was also involved in the scandal and served 11 of the 14 days she was sentenced to for her role in the scandal. She was also ordered to pay $30,000 and also ordered to perform 250 hours of community service.
