The actress Felicity Huffman was among two parents who on Monday pleaded guilty to charges related to the college admissions scandal, prosecutors announced.
Huffman admitted to participating in a scheme to pay $15,000 to have her daughter's scores on the SAT corrected, resulting in her daughter receiving a higher score than would otherwise have been the case. Prosecutors agreed to seek a sentence on the "low end" of the range, which could mean four months in prison and other penalties.
Devin Sloane, meanwhile, admitted to paying $250,000 to bribe an official of the University of Southern California to say that Sloane's son was a recruited athlete for the water polo team. He was not. The government plans to recommend a sentence of a year and a day, plus other penalties.
