Actress Felicity Huffman pleads guilty to fraud conspiracy in college admissions scandal

Actress Felicity Huffman departs federal court in Boston on April 3 after facing charges in a nationwide college admissions bribery scandal.

Huffman had indicated in April that she planned to plead guilty in U.S. District Court in Boston. In a written statement at the time, she expressed “deep regret and shame over what I have done,” and said she was ashamed for the pain she had caused her daughter, friends and others. She also apologized “to the students who work hard every day to get into college, and to their parents who make tremendous sacrifices to support their children and do so honestly.

Huffman and Sloane were scheduled to enter pleas in a hearing at 2:30 p.m. before U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani. Sentencing will occur at a later date.

As much as what Felicity Huffman did was abhorrent, I will give her this ...at least she is handling the aftermath with the remorse and apparent sincerity the violation demands. Aunt Becky on the other hand...🤨

I am glad to see she took the situation more seriously than Aunt Becky did.

yashar Good for her. Her privilege will no doubt continue to assist her, but at least by pleading guilty she avoids the reprehension reserved for others, such as Lori Laughlin.

THE CASE OF 'FALSIFICATION/TAMPERING' WITH MY GOOD GRADES PASSED IN 'US UNIVERSITIES*.BY MY POLITICAL ADVERSARIES (DEMOCRATS) ALL TEACHERS,UNIVERSITY WORKERS INVOLVED IN IT WILL BE FOUND GUILTY AT THE END OF COURT TRIAL.I PASSED AFTER HARD INTELLECTUAL WORK AND OWN RESEARCHES.

Unlike Lori who’s saying she’s letting God take care of her situation 😂

At least she took responsibility. Unlike Lori Loughlin, who seems to think she and her husband are above the law.

I'm betting she gets probation.

Proud of FelicityHuffman. She did a wrong thing and she’s owning it.

... how much time will Trump get for obstruction of justice? (asking for someone who is not a friend)

Elizabeth Warren also lied to get into college.
