Singer told investigators he went to Huffman’s home in 2017 and explained to the actress and her husband, actor William H. Macy, how the scheme worked. Singer told the couple he “controlled” a private school in West Hollywood, where Huffman’s daughter would take the exam; he explained that an accomplice,Huffman and Macy agreed to it, according to a FBI affidavit filed in federal court.

Singer intervened. With Huffman’s help, he explained that the girl was taking the test elsewhere and on a weekend because she didn’t want to miss a school day.

FelicityHuffman corrupted a fair college exam system. She cheated hardworking kids out of their rightful place. How many kids feeling exhausted & fearful seeing the elites cheat them & system?Stand up for kids! judgetalwani They are the victims. 3 yrs. CollegeAdmissionsScandal

I hope so

So weird that these women aren’t married to powerful men that absolutely HAVE NOT been pilloried in the media for their part in these crimes. Oh wait...

Isn't it 20yrs the punishment? She has money so probably 1 month of house arrest and community service.

The story could have left out 'brazen' and 'Once-beloved' ---- hmmm. Just report on it.

And her penalty will be a ankle braclet and be at home in her big house and pool. Slap on the wrist

So easy: lock her up! ...and kick the kid (as a matter of fact: adult) out !

Where is hubby?

All these people getting felonies for doing what the President's dad did for him and what he's done for his own kids.

At least she was honest about it, unlike Lori Laughlin

well i know there is a massive media PR campaign to portray her as a victim, but in the end i think she did the wrong thing for the right reasons

Aunt Becky to star in reality series “Orange is the new Black.”

The question now is what her punishment will be.
