Former Stanford University sailing coach John Vandemoer in Boston on March 12, 2019. His sentencing Wednesday was the first in the college admissions scandal.
Vandemoer, 41, was the first to be sentenced among the 50 coaches, parents and others charged in the federal investigation into what authorities say was a nearly decade-long scheme to sneak the children of wealthy families into top universities with rigged entrance exams, bribes and doctored applications that made unqualified teens into competitive athletes.
Approached by federal agents in February, Vandemoer admitted taking bribes from Singer and concealing his illicit dealings from Stanford, prosecutors said. He was arrested in March and fired the same day from the head sailing coach post he’d held for 11 years. “It is also the only way to begin restoring confidence in a college admissions system that most people agree is needlessly unfair,” Rosen wrote.
The third student was admitted to Stanford through the normal application process; the athletic recruiting scam proved unsuccessful because Singer and Vandemoer initiated it too late in the recruiting season, prosecutors said.

Democrat judges treat Democrat defendants differently.
Where are the Judge's kids studying? How did the got in?

'Vandemoer’s attorney had asked the judge to take a far more sympathetic view of Vandemoer. The attorney, Robert Fisher, wrote in a court filing that the father of two should be spared prison and receive only probation.' So that means parents have a get of jail free card?
Absolute 🐂💩.
He better have spilled the beans on some other over fed over privileged spoiled rich folks to walk away from this scam. Otherwise there is no justice.
Of Course--He got a 'suspended' sentence--He's a DEMOCRAT--& the Judge is a DEMOCRAT--what did -U- expect--to punish him like others -'will' be !!
