Emails, Recordings Shed Light On Lori Loughlin's College Admissions Cheating Case
The trove of correspondence also revealed how the University of Southern California was trying to court one of the Loughlin daughters.
LOS ANGELES, CA — Prosecutors Wednesday released emails and call recording logs between Mossimo Giannulli, Lori Loughlin and Rick Singer, the mastermind of the college admissions cheating scandal, shedding new light on the alleged scheme.
The trove of correspondence also revealed how the University of Southern California was trying to court one of the daughters of Loghlin and Giannulli — even as prosecutors said the couple was plotting a sham resume to get her admitted as a fake rower on crew.
In an email with a redacted sender, the writer said in part:
“Hi Mossimo — Please let me know if I can be at all helpful in setting up a 1:1 opportunity for her, customized tour of campus for the family… I’d also be happy to flag her application…”
In response to the release of that email, the university said in a statement that the offer was neither special nor unique.
