Actress Lori Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, who stand accused of paying a $500,000 bribe to get their two daughters into the University of Southern California (USC) as crew recruits, claim they didn't realize what they were doing was illegal, the Daily Beast website reports today (April 25, 2019).
Loughlin and Giannulli were indicted in March as part of a sweeping college admissions scandal, in which 50 parents were accused of bribing a consultant to help cheat their kids' way into top-tier schools.
They said they gave the money to this consultant, not entirely knowing everything that was going to be done.
Loughlin and Giannulli both pleaded not guilty to charges of mail fraud and money laundering, and could face decades in prison if convicted.
