Actresses Lori Loughlin (aka 'Aunt Becky') and Felicity Huffman are among at least 40 people charged in a college entrance exam cheating scandal, involving a number of elite universities including UCLA and Yale.
Lori Loughlin is one of over 40 people named in a breaking, national college admissions scandal. Loughlin and more have been indicted for allegedly paying Ivy league colleges millions of dollars to secure their children’s admissions, as well as paying for college entrance exam preferential treatment.
Loughlin, who is best known for her role as Aunt Becky on Full House, has been charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services fraud. Also charged with the same counts is actor Felicity Huffman, best known for her role on Desperate Housewives. Both Huffman and Loughlin are said to be in police custody, according to a report by New York Daily News. Both actors allegedly had their phone calls recorded by the FBI, which helped to indict them.
A handful of elite universities were named as the targets for the fraud. Georgetown University, University of California Los Angeles, University of Texas, Yale University, Stanford University, Wake Forest, University of Southern California and the University of San Diego were named by NBC. The schools, allegedly, were not involved in the exchange. Instead, some coaches are named in the scandal for accepting money.
A press conference was held on Tuesday, in which U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling claimed this is the largest college admissions scandal the U.S. has ever charged, as reported by Tom Winter of NBC on Twitter.
