'Desperate Housewives' star Felicity Huffman set to be sentenced for federal crimes stemming from massive 'Varsity Blues' college entrance scam.
"Desperate Housewives" star Felicity Huffman is set to be sentenced on Friday for federal crimes stemming from the massive"Varsity Blues" college entrance scam, and prosecutors are asking a judge to send her to prison.
Huffman's lawyers have asked Talwani to impose a one-year probation term, 250 hours of community service and a $20,000 fine. But federal prosecutors have asked the judge to sentence Huffman to one month of incarceration, followed by 12 months of supervised release and a fine of $20,000. The indictment alleges the parents paid bribes to William"Rick" Singer, a college-entrance tutor guru whom prosecutors identified as the ringleader of the nationwide scam, to get their children into elite colleges, including Stanford, the University of Southern California, Princeton and Georgetown.
Huffman pleaded guilty earlier this year to charges of conspiring to commit mail fraud and honest service mail fraud and admitted that she paid Singer $15,000 to falsify her daughter Sophia's SAT score.
