BOSTON - Actress Felicity Huffman, the first parent to be sentenced in a wide-ranging college admissions scandal, faces prison time on Friday for admittedly paying to rig her daughter’s entrance exam.
The one-time star of the television series “Desperate Housewives” is among 50 people accused in a scheme that involved cheating or bribery in which wealthy parents used fraud to secure their children spots at prominent U.S. universities including Yale, Georgetown and the University of Southern California. Among those charged in “Operation Varsity Blues” are Huffman, who was nominated for an Oscar for her role in 2005’s “Transamerica,” and Lori Loughlin, who starred in the TV series “Full House.
“I find Motherhood bewildering,” Huffman, 56, who is married to the actor William H. Macy, said in a letter to the judge.
