Actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin to face college scandal charges in Boston court

Actors Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin are among 15 wealthy parents due in Boston federal court on Wednesday to face charges that they participated in what prosecutors call the largest college admissions scam uncovered in U.S. history.

The scam's mastermind, California college admissions consultant Rick Singer, has pleaded guilty to overseeing a racketeering scheme in which parents paid to help their children cheat on admissions tests and bribe coaches to present them as elite prospects in sports including sailing, crew and water polo even if they had no athletic experience.

Prosecutors allege that Loughlin and her husband, Los Angeles fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, agreed to pay $500,000 to have their two daughters named as recruits to USC's crew team, even though they did not row competitively. Huffman later made arrangements to engage in the scheme again on her younger daughter's behalf before deciding not to, prosecutors said.

A story of what happens when you’re not very bright and you care more about appearances than about doing the work to earn what you want. Some of us earned our way into college. And some bought, lied or bribed their way in.

it seems that if the media continues to focus ONLY on these two they may end up with a bullying lawsuit against the media AND may be able to declare their case over publicized....maybe thats the medias intention...

Fast forward to when they pay the fines and get let off
