Prosecutors said Semprevivo paid US$400,000 to William “Rick” Singer, the California consultant at the centre of the scandal, to help his son, Adam Semprevivo, enter Georgetown as a tennis recruit, even though he did not play competitive tennis.Singer then paid"hundreds of thousands of dollars" to Georgetown tennis coach Gordon Ernst to admit the younger Semprevivo to the university in 2016, prosecutors said.
Ernst, who left Georgetown in 2018, pleaded not guilty in March to a federal racketeering conspiracy charge. Prosecutors said the younger Semprevivo was among at least 12 students who Ernst designated as tennis recruits from 2012 to 2018, in exchange for Ernst’s accepting more than US$2.7 million of bribes from Singer.
In May, Georgetown expelled Adam Semprevivo, a 21-year-old psychology major who just completed his junior year, after he sued the university over his treatment, including its refusal to let him transfer to another school and keep his academic credits, his lawyer said at the time. No students have been criminally charged. Some of the 33 parents who have been charged have said they tried to shield their children from what they were doing.
