Huffman, 57, pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge in April 2019 and admitted to paying admissions consultant Rick Singer $15,000 to have her daughter Sophia’s SAT scores altered.
Last September, she was sentenced to 14 days in prison at the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California. Huffman was also ordered to pay a fine of $30,000 and perform 250 hours of community service.
Loughlin, 55, and her 56-year-old husband, Mossimo Giannulli, are currently awaiting trial after pleading not guilty to the charges brought against them in March 2019.
According to legal documents obtained by Radar, the couple is accused of agreeing to “pay bribes totaling $500,000 in exchange for having their two daughters,” Olivia and Bella, “designated as recruits to the USC crew team, despite the fact that they did not participate in crew, thereby facilitating their admission to USC.”
