JUST IN: Actress Felicity Huffman pleads guilty in Boston federal court to a charge stemming from the massive 'Varsity Blues' college entrance scandal.
Academy Award-nominated actress Felicity Huffman appeared in Boston federal court Monday and pleaded guilty to a charge stemming from the massive "Varsity Blues" college entrance scandal that ensnared dozens of parents nationwide who prosecutors say lied and bribed to get their children into elite schools.
In exchange for her plea to a single felony count of conspiracy federal prosecutors agreed to recommend a sentence of four months imprisonment, a year of supervised release and a $20,000 fine."I am pleading guilty to the charge brought against me by the United States Attorney's Office," Huffman said.
Huffman and her husband, actor William H. Macy, later made arrangements to pursue the scheme a second time, for her younger daughter, before deciding not to do so, court documents allege. Macy was not charged in the scam. Another well-known actress indicted in the scam is Lori Loughlin, best known for her role as Aunt Becky in the ABC sitcom"Full House."
