Huffman to plead guilty in college admissions scandal
Former 'Desperate Housewives" star Felicity Huffman is expected to formally plead guilty in Boston federal court Monday in the college admissions scandal that revealed an elaborate cheating scam involving several wealthy parents and their privileged children. Huffman agreed to plead guilty last month. She was one of the 11 defendants charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud who agreed to plead guilty. Huffman had been accused of paying $15,000 disguised as a tax-deductible charitable donation so her daughter could take part in an apparently rigged college entrance exam. More than four dozen people have been charged in the nationwide scam, which is alleged to have placed students in top-tier schools like Yale, Georgetown, Stanford, the University of Southern California, UCLA and the University of Texas. Actress Lori Loughlin and her fashion designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli, are also charged in the scam, but have not reached any plea deals.
