Actress Lori Loughlin is already in trouble for shelling out hundreds of thousands of dollars to get her daughters into the University of Southern California, one of many parents indicted in the college admission scandal. On Tuesday, her rap sheet got a bit longer. She and her husband Mossimo Giannulli and another 14 parents have now been indicted on fraud and money laundering charges. If they reach a plea deal, Loughlin and her husband will face a minimum two-year prison sentence. Other reports, however, suggest they could be serving up to 20 years.
The parents were charged in Boston in a "second superseding indictment with conspiring to commit fraud and money laundering," the Department of Justice said in a statement to Fox News.
Loughlin is most known for her role as Aunt Becky on "Full House" and its Netflix reprisal "Fuller House." Yet, since the scandal broke, both Netflix and the Hallmark Channel have cut ties with her. She appeared in court last week, but not before signing a few autographs.
"Desperate Housewives" actress Felicity Huffman, who allegedly paid a school $15,000 to give her daughter a boost on her SATs, had a tearful appearance in court Monday. Huffman pled guilty and apologized to her daughter, who she insisted knew nothing about her actions.
In a statement, Felicity Huffman says she’s pleading guilty.
