'Full House' actress Lori Loughlin and her husband face sentencing on Friday after admitting they participated in a vast U.S. college admissions fraud scheme to secure spots for their daughters at the University of Southern California.

BOSTON - “Full House” actress Lori Loughlin and her husband face sentencing on Friday after admitting they participated in a vast U.S. college admissions fraud scheme to secure spots for their daughters at the University of Southern California.

Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, will appear virtually before a federal judge in Boston to be sentenced under plea deals that call for them to serve two months and five months in prison, respectively. Consultant William “Rick” Singer pleaded guilty last year to facilitating cheating on college entrance exams and using bribery to secure the admission of children to schools as fake athletic recruits.Loughlin, 56, and Giannulli, 57, pleaded guilty in March, after their lawyers repeatedly conveyed their claims of innocence. Unlike other parents in the case, the couple filed nothing ahead of their sentencing expressing regret.

U.S. District Judge Nathaniel Gorton has yet to decide if he will accept their plea deals, which restrict his ability to impose different sentences.

Colleges are complicit. Any dummy can get into college just because they are an athlete. WTF is this? In theory, those dummies don't meet the entrances criteria for most applicant yet they do well and graduate. How is that? Something is very wrong here. Colleges are overrated.

Fines seem pretty minor considering what they were willing to pay to cheat the system.

His tie is scandalous too...

yeah!

Hope they're fined exponentially and their childs acceptance is reviewed, or revoked until reviewed!!!

Anybody see the Netflix series:Norsemen the scene on the punishment called (Scotia Whipping) great case to try it here

just hire someone else to serve the sentence🇺🇸

I want to slap her in soap opera fashion

Aunt Becky. Nooooo

Jailed! 5 months in prison!

I'm sure house arrest. They will be confined to their mansion. Oh the horror

It’s unforgivable if they are just given a slap on the wrist.

Will this interfere with their speaking slot at the RNC?

Remember that black lady being sentenced to 5 years because she apparently send her kid to the wrong school without knowing?
