Lori Loughlin And Husband To Plead Guilty In Admissions Scandal

Loughlin and Giannulli agreed to serve prison time and pay fines as part of a plea deal in the college admissions scandal. Loughlin faces two months in prison, a $150,000 fine, and 100 hours of community service, while Giannulli faces five months, a $250,000 fine, and 250 hours of service. The deal requires judicial approval. They paid $500,000 to have their daughters fraudulently recruited as athletes at USC. The judge previously rejected a motion to dismiss charges. They join other parents who pleaded guilty, with some sentences delayed or reduced due to COVID-19.
