Lori Loughlin Begins Serving Prison Sentence For College Scam
"I made an awful decision," she said at her sentencing. "I am truly, profoundly and deeply sorry. I am ready to face the consequences."
BOSTON. (CBS) — Lori Loughlin has reported to prison to begin serving her two-month sentence for her role in the college admissions scandal. A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson said Friday the “Full House” star is in custody at the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California.
Back in August, a tearful Loughlin told a Boston federal court judge she was “deeply sorry” for her part in the bribery scam. She and fashion designer husband Mossimo Giannulli pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges for paying $500,000 to get their daughters admitted to the University of Southern California as crew recruits.
Loughlin’s plea deal called for two months in prison, a $150,000 fine and 100 hours of community service. The couple could have faced 20 years in prison under the conspiracy charges.
