A former California real estate executive has been sentenced to six months in prison for paying $450,000 to get his two children into the University of Southern California (USC) as fake soccer and basketball recruits, The Daily Beast website reports today (November 14, 2019).
Toby MacFarlane, 56, was sentenced yesterday in Boston's federal court after he pleaded guilty in June to fraud conspiracy.
U.S. District Judge Nathaniel Gorton also imposed a $150,000 fine and ordered MacFarlane to perform 200 hours of community service.
MacFarlane paid $200,000 to admissions consultant William Singer to get his daughter admitted to USC as a soccer recruit in 2014, and later paid another $250,000 to get his son into USC as a basketball recruit in 2017.
