Lori Loughlin Pleads Guilty to College Shame; Paid $500,000 to Get 2 Girls into U. of S. Cal.

Actress Lori Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, made a plea deal with prosecutors for their role in the college admissions scandal, the U.S. Attorney's Office in the District of Massachusetts announced today (May 21, 2020), according to the Yahoo News website.

The "Full House" star, 55, and her fashion designer husband, 56. will both plead guilty -- perhaps tomorrow -- to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud. They were accused of paying a $500,000 bribe to get their two daughters into the University of Southern California as crew recruits, despite neither having played crew in high school.

Giannulli also agreed to plead guilty to to honest-services wire and mail fraud, which increases his prison time.

Loughrin is expected to receive a sentence of two months in prison, a $150,000 fine and two years of supervised release with 100 hours of community service. Giannulli will serve five months in prison, pay  a $250,000 fine and have two years of supervised release with 250 hours of community service.
