In a stunning reversal, actress Lori Loughlin and her fashion designer husband agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy charges in connection with securing the fraudulent admission of their two daughters to the University of Southern California as purported rowing team recruits, federal prosecutors said Thursday.
Loughlin, 55, and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, 56, both of Los Angeles, were the highest-profile parents fighting charges in the bombshell case first announced in March 2019. Prosecutors said the couple paid a corrupt admissions consultant to bribe college coaches and submit phony applications to admit their girls at the prestigious private university.
Loughlin would serve just two months in prison, pay a $150,000 fine and serve two years of supervised release with 100 hours of community service under the terms of her plea agreement. Giannulli would serve five months in prison, pay a $250,000 fine and serve two years of supervised release with 250 hours of community service. More
Fine. Now prosecute the schools.
Not all that familiar with the ins and outs of this case. Why is the husband’s sentence worse? Was he the mastermind or something?
Yes – utter inequality. Equal pay-back!
What’s the male equivalent of a pussy hat? 😉
They should have claimed their daughters were Native American. In like Senator Walking Eagle!
Kinda picky considering they’re stuffing the classrooms with illegal Mexicans.
OK…let me get this straight. They spent 500K to get their girls on a rowing team (with a scholarship) when the girls didn’t know how to row?….couldn’t they have spent 50K to get them some pretty good assed rowing lessons when they were little? Why was USC so important?….
500K could have paid tuition for 4 years to some really good schools….AH, I get it….the girls are stupid, but not as stupid as the parents….
WGG: If I remember correctly, the girls were not felt qualified to get into the school as mete students. However athletes have an easier time getting in.
She would have been better off donating money for a new library. Her kid would have been admitted. This is all BS.
I guess blow jobs don’t have the traction they used to. Had to use cash.

That is exactly what I have said the entire time.

“She would have been better off donating money for a new library. Her kid would have been admitted.”
Or a hefty donation to your favorite democrat senator.
WAIT! WHAT! What about all of the inbred politician’s dumb ass fukc’n children who have been to harvard and yale and George Washington and brown, etc. etc. ? Is this simply another case of different justice?
Forrest Gumps mother did it better
So what’s going to happen to the guy who took the bribes?
She should have put classified files on a private hard drive. There’s no penalty for that.
It’s always fun to see some hollywood corrupt POS suffer.
Maybe this is a new trend.
There seems to be a large void between the haves and the have-nots with the HAVES always ‘coming out on top’.
Not that I condone what they did but how about politicians and their kids. You don;t think they get away with crap to get their runts in better schools.
If they want to really punish her, make her Rosie O’Donnell, Micheal Moore and Stacey Abrams Grub-Hub driver, she’d never get a second of rest.
That’s not punishment. It’s a Hollyweird resume enhancement. More than likely she’ll begin her fake apology tour on “The View of Harpies” next year with fake tears of remorse.
Martha Stewart is smirking
What about the school? Who took the bribes in the first place?
I find the fact that this has happened and continues to happen a lot more offensive then Lori and her husband cheating to get their daughters in.
