Lori Loughlin’s Arrest Following College Admission Scandal
After facing allegations for more than a year, Lori accepted the charges of conspiring to commit wire and mail fraud. She had been involved in a notorious college admission scandal meant to give certain students an unfair advantage into elite universities. By pleading guilty, Lori put an end to her long-lasting legal battle.
Mossimo Giannulli, alongside his wife, agreed to plead guilty on the account of honest service wire and mail fraud. What’s more, they even paid $500K as a bribe to Rick Singer and Key Worldwide Foundation in order to have their daughters Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose admitted into USC based on false credentials claiming them both had experience in crew – when neither daughter ever competed in it before!
Lori humbly and tearfully accepted the blame for her part in the college admissions scandal. She confessed that she held deep love for her daughters, but despite this intention, had ended up undermining their accomplishments. It’s understandable why so many people were incensed upon learning of Lori’s actions; however, when it comes down to it, every mother just wants what is best for their children – regardless of whether or not they can provide them with all of life’s luxuries.
