Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman and Fuller House star Lori Loughlin were among dozens of people indicted Tuesday for taking part in a college-admissions bribery scam. Loughlin and her husband allegedly paid $500,000 for their two daughters to be "recruited" by the crew team at the University of Southern California, even though neither of them participate in crew. As for Huffman, charging documents allege she "made a purported charitable contribution of $15,000...to participate in the college entrance exam cheating scheme on behalf of her eldest daughter. Huffman later made arrangements to pursue the scheme a second time, for her younger daughter, before deciding not to do so." ABC News reports that 50 people, including several CEOs, were indicted overall after they "allegedly paid bribes of up to $6 million to get their children into elite colleges, including Yale, Stanford, Georgetown, and the University of Southern California." Meanwhile, NBC News claims that 44 people--some of them college coaches--were charged in what that outlet described as a "large-scale college entrance exam cheating scheme...focused on getting students admitted to elite universities as recruited athletes, regardless of their athletic abilities, and helping potential students cheat on their college exams." Huffman and Loughlin have reportedly been charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud.
