Peninsula Women Gets 7 Months For Georgetown Bribery: Report

ATHERTON, CA — An Atherton woman who agreed to pay $400,000 to get one of her daughters admitted into Georgetown University was sentenced to seven months in prison Tuesday, prosecutors said according to a Washington Post report.

Elizabeth Henriquez, 57, is the 16th parent sentenced in the “Varsity Blues” college admissions sting operation, the report said.

Henriquez offered to pay to get her daughter into Georgetown as a fake tennis recruit, the report said. She pleaded guilty to money laundering conspiracy and fraud conspiracy, the report said.
Her sentence includes two years of supervised release and a $200,000 fine. She was also ordered to perform 300 hours of community service, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts.

Elizabeth and her husband Manuel Henriquez agreed to pay $400,000 to admissions consultant William “Rick” Singer in 2015 to get their older into Georgetown as a tennis recruit even though she didn’t play competitively.

Elizabeth and Manuel Henriquez also paid to obtain sham admission scores for both of their daughters, prosecutors said.

Neither of the daughters has been charged with a crime.
