“I am so very sorry that I tried to create an unfair advantage for my children,” Michelle Janavs said in court.

... [+]: Michelle Janavs, a wealthy former executive of the company that created Hot Pockets, was sentenced to five months in prison on Tuesday for her role in the college admissions scandal.

Janavs paid $300,000 to a consultant who falsified ACT scores for her two daughters and facilitated one daughter’s admission into the University of Southern California as a fake volleyball recruit. Prosecutors had asked for a harsher sentence of 21 months after Janavs pleaded guilty to fraud and money laundering charges in October.

The judge also fined Janavs $250,000 and said she will be under two years supervised release after prison. Janavs is a former executive at Chef America, a food manufacturer founded by her father in 1977. The company created Hot Pockets and was sold to Nestle in 2002 for $2.6 billion: “I am so very sorry that I tried to create an unfair advantage for my children,” Janavs said Tuesday in court.: Prosecutors charged 53 people in March last year for participating in a wide-ranging scheme to get students into elite colleges using various forms of cheating and bribery.
