BREAKING: Actress may spend a month in jail over college admissions scandal
As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News App offers the following information published by NBCNews.com:
Oscar-nominated actress Felicity Huffman should serve a month in jail and pay a $20,000 fine for her role in the college admissions scandal, federal prosecutors said in a court filing Friday.
Huffman tearfully pleaded guilty earlier this year to committing mail fraud and honest services fraud in connection with a $15,000 payment to have an SAT examination proctor correct one of her daughter’s answers on the test.
The article goes on to state the following:
The actress, who co-starred on the ABC drama “Desperate Housewives” and earned an Oscar nomination for “Transamerica,” also inquired about the same scheme for another daughter, although she never carried out that plan.
In the filing, prosecutors said she should have a year of supervised release after spending a month in jail.
“In the context of this case, neither probation nor home confinement (in a large home in the Hollywood Hills with an infinity pool) would constitute meaningful punishment or deter others from committing similar crimes,” prosecutors wrote.
NEW: Federal prosecutors call for Hollywood actress Felicity Huffman to spend a month in prison and pay a $20,000 fine following her guilty plea in the college admissions case.
They write in a sentencing memo that Huffman’s conduct was, “deliberate and manifestly criminal.”
