Actress Felicity Huffman starts prison sentence in college admissions scam

Image: UPI/PA Images Image: UPI/PA Images US ACTRESS FELICITY Huffman has reported to a federal prison in California to serve a two-week sentence for her part in the college admissions scandal.

A federal judge in Boston sentenced Huffman last month to 14 days in prison, a $30,000 fine, 250 hours of community service and a year’s probation. A statement from Huffman’s representative says that she “is prepared to serve the term of imprisonment Judge Talwani ordered as one part of the punishment she imposed for Ms Huffman’s actions”.

The scandal erupted in March when the ringleader behind the scam, William “Rick” Singer, admitted running the elaborate fraud which ranged from cheating in entrance exams to bribing coaches to help non-athletic students get scholarships.
