In the far-reaching college admissions scandal, the former private equity executive is accused of paying to have his son's ACT exam doctored as well as setting up a fake athletic profile for him.
includes a recorded conversation between McGlashan and Singer in which they discuss creating a fake football profile for McGlashan’s son.Singer told McGlashan he would use Photoshop to create a fake profile of the boy as a football kicker to get him into USC. “Perfect,” McGlashan says. “He does have really strong legs.”
McGlashan’s attorneys argue that his son was diagnosed with a learning disability in 2015 and legitimately needed more time to take the ACT exam. Federal prosecutors, however, say McGlashan discussed repeating the scheme in July 2018 and how he would get a doctor to make a diagnosis that would also get his younger children more time on the test and open the door to their using the West Hollywood testing center.
But McGlashan’s legal team says his son withdrew his applications to college and hasn’t even graduated from high school.
