Fox News: Loughlin Hit with New Charges in College Admissions Scandal

‘For Lori Loughlin and her husband, jail time is more of a strong possibility’

EXCERPT:

SMITH: "The breaking news now. The Full House actress — aunt Becky, not uncle Becky, duh — Lori Loughlin she is, and her fashion designer husband have just been hit with new charges in the college admissions scandal. They’re among 16 parents indicted today on a charge of money laundering, conspiracy. TMZ is reporting that if Loughlin and her husband now want to plead guilty, prosecutors would likely recommend a sentence ranging from four years and nine months up to five years and 11 months. Prosecutors say the couple paid $500,000 to get their daughters into the University of Southern California as crew recruits, despite the fact that they never rowed crew. The actress Felicity Huffman not part of today's indictment. Yesterday we learned she plans to plead guilty to the original charges. Huffman faces a four to ten-months sentence as part of her plea. Prosecutors say she paid a consultant $15,000 to rig her daughter’s SAT scores. Analysts say some of the accused parents might have been able to avoid additional prison time and charges had they quickly owned up to their actions. Trace Gallagher reporting live."
