Actress Is Guilty in College Admissions Scandal; Felicity Huffman Paid Rick Singer $15K for Deal

Actress Felicity Huffman today (May 13, 2019) pleaded guilty to accusations that she paid $15,000 to fraudulently boost her daughter's SAT score as part of a nationwide college admissions scam, according to the AOL website.

The "Desperate Housewives" actress pleaded guilty to a single charge of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud.

Huffman, 56, is one of 14 parents who agreed to plead guilty to allegations stemming from a far-reaching federal investigation that has led to the arrest of dozens of wealthy parents, coaches, and college officials.

Prosecutors say Huffman paid Rick Singer -- who orchestrated the admissions scheme -- to hire a proctor to correct her elder daughter's answers on her college entrance exam.
