Felicity Huffman, Lori Loughlin among actresses and CEOs involved in an alleged scam of admission to the university

BOSTON – Actresses and general managers are among the 50 people arrested in connection with an admission scam at a national college, authorities said Tuesday.

According to the prosecution documents, actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin would be among the people involved in the lawsuits.

The suspects reportedly paid up to $ 6 million in bribes to allow their children to attend elite colleges, including Yale, Stanford, Georgetown and USC.

In most cases, students did not know that their admission depended on a bribe.

University sports coaches and college entrance exam administrators were also among those arrested.

The alleged scam involved a California man who ran a business to help students get into the college of their choice.

The authorities say that the parents would pay him a predetermined amount, knowingly. He would then direct the money to one of two locations: a SAT or ACT administrator, or a university sports coach.

The coaches allegedly created a false profile that indicated the potential student as an athlete, and the review administrators would have hired supervisors to test or correct a student's answers.

Bribes ranged from a few thousand dollars to 6 million, according to officials. The indictment documents, unsealed at the Federal Court in Boston, are over 200 pages long.

They allege that Huffman and her husband "made a so-called charitable contribution of $ 15,000 … to participate in the cheat ploy at the college entrance exam on behalf of her eldest daughter Huffman then made arrangements to reiterate it a second time, for his youngest daughter, before deciding not to do it. "

Federal agents reported recording telephone conversations with Huffman and a witness.

The documents indicate that Loughlin and her husband "agreed to pay bribes in the total amount of $ 500,000 in exchange for the designation of their two daughters as recruits to the team. the USC crew – although they did not participate in the crew – thus facilitating their admission to USC. "

Officials say they have emails from Loughlin.
