Also Lori Loughlin is facing new allegations in the college bribery scandal

Actress Lori Loughlin and 10 other parents accused in a massive college admissions scandal are facing additional charges, the Department of Justice announced Tuesday.

A grand jury in the District of Massachusetts brought the new charges against 11 of the 15 parents charged in the case, including Loughlin and her fashion designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli.

Loughlin and the 10 other parents facing new charges have pleaded not guilty to the previous charges in the alleged scheme.

The new charges in the third superseding indictment allege that the 11 defendants conspired to commit federal program bribery by paying off employees of the University of Southern California to facilitate their children’s admission. Arraignment dates have not yet been scheduled.

In exchange for the bribes, employees of the university allegedly "designated the defendants’ children as athletic recruits — with little or no regard for their athletic abilities — or as members of other favored admissions categories," the indictment states.

Andrew Lelling, the United States attorney for the District of Massachusetts, said Tuesday's charges "are the result of ongoing investigation in the nationwide college admissions case."

"Our goal from the beginning has been to hold the defendants fully accountable for corrupting the college admissions process through cheating, bribery and fraud," Lelling said. "The superseding indictments will further that effort.”

BOSTON (AP) — Federal prosecutors denied allegations that investigators deliberately withheld and fabricated evidence to entrap actress Lori Loughlin, her fashion designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli, and other prominent parents charged with cheating the college admissions process.

Prosecutors told a judge in a legal document filed late Wednesday that he should reject the parents’ attempt to dismiss the charges, calling their claims of government misconduct “baseless.”

“Criminal defendants are entitled to a vigorous defense. But making baseless claims that evidence was fabricated to frame innocent parties goes too far,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Frank wrote.

Here is an update


Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli agreed Thursday to plead guilty to conspiracy charges in connection with their involvement in the college admissions case that secured their two daughters enrollment at the University of Southern California.

Earlier this month, a federal judge rejected Loughlin and Giannulli’s request to dismiss the charges against them based on accusations of misconduct by investigators working on the bribery case. At that time, the couple — who were charged with three separate counts of bribery, fraud and money laundering — was still set to go to trial on their previously announced Oct. 5 court date, along with other families involved in the felony case.

So Lori will get 2 months, Mossimo will get 5. How much time will they actually serve?

'm gonna assume they will serve no time in a actual prison cell as they did white collar crimes and with this Covid19 Pandemic going on, i can see them order to erve their time at home under house arrest.

plus I wouldn't be surprise if they try to curry favor with the president to get a presidential pardon since it seems he likes to bail white collar criminals if they are loyal to him.
 
Now is not the time to put anyone in a real cell if there's not a good reason, and there's not one in this case.

Though it's hard to tell the difference between house arrest and what many of us have gone through.
 
Now this is weird. Possibly thanks to COVID-19, I have access to a certain newspaper I read at the beach, appearing as it actually does, from home. So because of the date when this first happened, and the date I went home from the beach last year, this happened.

In today's paper from the beach (I can't provide a link; well, I can, but it would be unethical of me to provide the username and password required) it says Sophia Macy will attend Carnegie Mellon.

I also look at one paper each day from the past year. In the one I saw today, it said her mom got out of prison.

Lori Loughlin deals with a plea deal in her conviction

BOSTON (AP) — “Full House” actor Lori Loughlin must serve two months in prison and her fashion designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli, must serve five months for paying half a million dollars in bribes to get their two daughters into the University of Southern California as rowing recruits, a federal judge ruled Friday.

U.S. District Judge Nathaniel Gorton accepted Loughlin’s plea deal with prosecutors in a hearing held via videconference because of the coronavirus pandemic after sentencing her husband in an earlier hearing.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Justin O’Connell said Loughlin wasn’t content with the advantages her children already had thanks to their wealth and “was focused on getting what she wanted, no matter how and no matter the cost.” He said prison time was was necessary to send a message that “everyone no matter your status is accountable in our justice system.”
