Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, were accused of paying $500,000 to ensure their daughters' admission to the University of Southern California based on falsified athletic records.

Three months after pleading guilty, actor Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli were sentenced to two months and five months in jail on Friday for the role they played in the college admission scandal.

As part of the deal, U.S. District Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton had no room to adjust their sentences, as the terms of their plea deal made the recommendations binding. Gorton's only option was to accept or deny the deal. "Loughlin took a less active role, but was nonetheless fully complicit, eagerly enlisting Singer a second time for her younger daughter, and coaching her daughter not to 'say too much' to her high school's legitimate college counselor, lest he catch on to their fraud," Lelling wrote.

"I take full responsibility for my conduct and I am ready to accept the consequences and move forward with the lessons I've learned from this experience," Giannulli said, according toGorton characterized Giannulli's behavior as sponsoring a"breathtaking fraud" and cited his upbringing as proof that he"certainly did know better." The fashion designer has 90 days to surrender himself.
