BOSTON - A California woman who admitted paying US$15,000 to rig her son's college entrance exam scores got three weeks in prison after a federal judge said she compounded her crime by falsifying the boy's ethnicity on his applications and by an earlier act of deception.
But Talwani called Klapper out for her"willingness to distort the application" and for what the government says was an earlier scheme on behalf of her older son. The defence asked Talwani to have mercy on Klapper, citing her son's learning disability and the emotional turmoil of her sister's death in 2017 while she was working to get the boy into college.
"The issue is the cover-up," she told McDougall at one point."The issue is the false statements to the test centre to say there was more tutoring that happened than did happen." Besides her jail term, Klapper was sentenced to 250 hours of community service and a fine of US$9,500. Prosecutors said she deserved four months in prison and a US$20,000 fine.
