Lori Loughlin Reports To Dublin Prison In College Admissions Scam

DUBLIN, CA — Actress Lori Loughlin began a two-month sentence Friday at Dublin's Federal Correctional Institution for her role in a college admissions bribery scheme, NBC News reported.

No visitors are allowed because of the pandemic and Loughlin, 55, will be expected to follow all procedures, including waking up at 5 a.m. and wearing khaki pants and a brown t-shirt, the station reported. Loughlin must complete 100 hours of community service and pay a $150,000 fine.

Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli, 56, of Los Angeles pleaded guilty in May to conspiracy charges for facilitating the fraudulent admission of their two daughters to the University of Southern California. Their daughters were admitted as crew recruits, though they had never participated in the sport, according to the Department of Justice.

Giannulli paid $50,000 to a USC athletic account and $200,000 a sham charity operated by William "Rick" Singer, who facilitated their admissions into USC, prosecutors said. Giannulli emailed Singer asking if he could write off the $200,000 sum.

Giannulli must spend five months in prison, pay a $250,000 fine and complete 250 hours of community service.

The couple was among nearly 60 people charged in connection with the scheme, including "Desperate Housewives" actress Felicity Huffman. Huffman completed her 11-day sentence at the Dublin facility last year, NBC News reported.
