On March 12, 2019, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli were charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud in the college admissions scandals involving over 40 individuals.
“Beginning in or about 2011, and continuing through the present, the defendants — principally individuals whose high-school aged children were applying to college — conspired with others to use bribery and other forms of fraud to facilitate their children’s admission to colleges and universities in the District of Massachusetts and elsewhere, including Yale University, Stanford University, the University of Texas, the University of Southern California, and the University of California–Los Angeles, among others,” an FBI affidavit read.
Loughlin served less than two months behind bars, while her husband stayed in prison for nearly five months after pleading guilty to giving bribes in order to get their daughters into the University of Southern California.
