Prosecutors plan to seek a sentence of four to 10 months' jail time for actress Felicity Huffman for her role in the college admissions scandal, a law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation said.
Huffman was among 13 parents who agreed to plead guilty last week to a charge of conspiracy to commit fraud. A total of 33 parents, including the"Desperate Housewives" star, have been accused of using their wealth to cheat on standardized tests for their children and bribe college administrators and coaches who had clout when it came to admissions.Prosecutors' decision to seek four to 10 months had nothing to do with Huffman's public apology, the source said.
How is what they did any different than kids that aren’t qualified getting in based on being black?
This system of bribery by rich parents is unfortunately common. I hope this scandal will lead to more inquiries.
She did the right thing with a plea. The others are skating on thin ice. I hope they have good legal counsel. They will need it.
such white privilege
That's all..
Trump will pardon her! 💪🏼💪🏼
Better than no jail time.
Another Hollywood Dem in Jail !
And I bet these Hollywood elites busted for doing this..are liberals who support Sanders or one those liberal socialist in California Whom preach about equality but don't live by what they say! But expect everyone else to.
I can't stand privileged Hollywood but at least she stood up and admitted and is accepting her due process but lorielaughlin she's pretending she didn't know her kids weren't on the rowing team give her the $500,000 prison sentence
Not enough time at all
I like the way they use the term “jail” instead of country club like where Martha Stewart served.
It’s always the buyer who gets in trouble the dealer on the other hand? She would not have known that this college admission tactics were available if it wasn’t advertised somewhere by people who to stand to make loads of money.
She should win a golf tournament then all will be forgotten.
She should take advice from Martha Stewart
She deserves the jail time. The unspoken crime is that college is portrayed as necessary for a good life🤷♂️
What purpose would that serve? She’s not a threat to society.
She'll like the blue plastic mattress.
While insider trading for congress members is still legal
Texas just gave a former felon who voted illegally 8 years. Yeah, 8 years just because she did not know she wasn't allowed to vote. She was black. So cut the s**t, that's the real America, cutthroat, double cross, dog eat dog, unless you got $$$$$!!!
LOCK HER UP! TheGrumpyOldMan2020🇺🇸
Jail is a waste of taxpayer dollars. Fine her so that it hurts.
Ten months for a first time offense is outrageous. A person should not be an 'example' or a 'message' I dont hate a first time shop lifter becalse they're poor, So Im not gonna hate her for being rich either
10 months = she will serve a week... well worth it for her.
This is full of shit, going after the rich and famous only isn't always the way to go. This A/G is trying to make a name for himself so he can run for office or something else. Make a deal and fine them but don't waste our money and time in court for this thing.
As a non traditional student who worked hard to accomplish my college & post graduate education, I hope she gets slapped hard.
She really was a desperate housewife.
No big deal..Martha Stewart survived...so can she
A black woman who used her father’s zip code to get her kids into a better grade school was given five years!
