Lori Loughlin now faces 40 years in prison after the big bombing, she and 18 other parents

Lori Loughlin and her husband are now facing 40 years in prison and over a million fines for allegedly bribing officials to bring their daughters to the University of Southern California. .

One day after 13 parents pleaded guilty to their role in the Operation Varsity Blues scandal, the 19 who had not admitted their guilt were charged with new charges.

Among those named are William McGlashan, Manuel and Elizabeth Henriquez, as well as Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli.

"The charge of conspiracy to commit postal and telegraph fraud and honest services involves a maximum penalty of 20 years imprisonment, three years of probation and a fine of $ 250,000 or the double the gain or gross loss, whichever is greater, "said a statement from the US District Attorney's Office.

"The charge of conspiracy to launder money provides a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, three years of probation and a fine of US $ 500,000, double the value of property involved in money laundering. The sentences are pronounced by a judge of a federal district court on the basis of US sentencing guidelines and other legal considerations. & # 39;

Loughlin and Giannulli "have agreed to pay bribes in the total amount of $ 500,000 in exchange for appointing their two daughters as recruits to the USC team. , while they did not participate in the crew – thus facilitating their admission to USC ", according to the documents.

The couple sent an email to Singer in 2016 about their daughters' college prospects, stating that they wanted to do the work needed to ensure that girls enter the USC, as opposed to at the ASU.

The emails obtained by the investigators revealed that it was soon decided that bribes would be paid to recruit the girls as helmsmen.

Shortly after, photos of the eldest daughter Isabella were taken on an ergometer.

Dr. Donna Heinel, Senior Assistant Director of Sports at USC, introduced Isabella as a potential sports recruit a month later and she was approved for conditional admission.

Giannulli was then asked to send a check for $ 50,000 to Heinle. Shortly after, he asked if he could tell the story to the sports director of the USC when the two men were at Augusta, probably at the famous golf club.

Singer said it was not a good idea, because when he discussed the possibility that Isabella would be admitted with him a year, he thought the family "would be beneficial to a million people in more".

Isabella received her letter of admission the following March, followed by another note requesting a $ 200,000 donation to Key Worldwide Foundation.

After the amount was transferred to the organization, a note was returned stating that no goods or services had been exchanged for cash, which, according to the documents, is false.

This same process was then repeated with the girl, Olivia, is it claimed.

Problems arose, however, when Olivia's guidance counselor became curious about how she had managed to be admitted because of her involvement in the crew since she was not rowing. not.

At the same time, Loughlin complained that his daughter had difficulty completing her other applications for admission to the university, which prompted Singer to ask an employee to take on this task.

This was done to not draw attention to the fact that it was already confirmed that she had been admitted conditionally to the school.

Then, at one point, there was a very violent and public altercation between Giannulli and the counselor, which caused an e-mail from Dr. Heinel asking that this not happen again in the future in order to Avoid any detection.

All of this began to collapse in October 2018 when the IRS audited Key Worldwide and began reviewing donations made by parents whose children had subsequently been admitted to the USC.

Singer told the two men that they had donated money to help "underserved children".
