FILE - Rudy Meredith, former Yale women's soccer coach, departs federal court, in Boston, March 28, 2019, where he pleaded guilty to charges in a nationwide college admissions bribery scandal. Meredith was sentenced to five months in prison Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2022, for his role in the college admissions bribery scheme.
He helped investigators unravel the wider bribery scheme dubbed Operation Varsity Blues by leading them to William “Rick" Singer, the admissions consultant at the center of the scheme. Singer, who paid Meredith a total of $860,000 in bribes, later agreed to work with investigators himself and recorded his conversations with wealthy parents who paid big money to cheat their kids' way into school.
In asking for a sentence of time served followed by a year of supervised release, with 50 hours of community service, prosecutors' cited Meredith's assistance in breaking open the case.
