Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin are among dozens of people indicted in an alleged university admissions scamHollywood stars including Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin are among dozens of people charged in connection with an alleged $25m university admissions cheating scam in the US, according to court documents.
Huffman, star of Desperate Housewives, and Full House actress Loughlin, are accused of taking part in an apparent scheme involving parents who paid bribes to get their children into elite universities, including Stanford and Yale. Both were charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud in indictments unsealed at a federal court in Boston."These parents are a catalogue of wealth and privilege," said US Attorney Andrew Lelling, describing the scheme as the biggest college admissions scam ever prosecuted by the US Justice Department.
Federal prosecutors have charged William"Rick" Singer, 58, with running the racketeering scam through his Edge College & Career Network, which served several clients, including chief executives and Hollywood actresses. Prosecutors said his operation arranged for fake testers to take admissions exams in place of clients' children, and in some cases arranged for applicants to be listed as recruited athletes even if they had no athletic ability.
