"Full House" actress Lori Loughlin and her fashion designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli, were sentenced today (August 21, 2020) to respective prison terms of two months and five months for participating in a vast U.S. college admissions fraud scheme, according to the Reuters website.
Loughlin, 56, chocked up as she apologized to U.S. District Judge Nathaniel Gorton in Boston for the "awful decision" she made to help her two daughters gain an "unfair advantage" in the college admissions process and get into their preferred school.
She and her husband were sentenced after they pleaded guilty last May to engaging in a fraud scheme at securing spots for their two daughters at the University of Southern California (USC) as fake athletic recruits.
Gorton also ordered Loughlin and Grannulli to pay respective fines of $150,000 and $250,000 and complete 100 and 250 hours of community service.
