Felicity Huffman Sentenced To 14 Days In Prison For College Admissions Scandal

As the first parent to be sentenced in the college admissions scandal in United States known as “Operation Varsity Blues,” actress Felicity Huffman was sentenced to 14 days in jail, and will have to pay a $30,000 fine, complete 250 hours of community service and undergo one year of supervised release.

Huffman has admitted paying $15,000 to William “Rick” Singer, the accused mastermind behind the scheme, to artificially boost her older daughter’s math SAT scores. He allegedly convinced Huffman that her daughter’s scores were too low for acceptance at top performing arts schools.

As a result, Huffman was charged with and pleaded guilty in May to one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud.

Federal prosecutors originally wanted to sentence Huffman to four months in jail, plus the fine, but knocked it down to one month as of last week.

Legal experts agreed that Huffman’s sentencing will likely act as a bellwether in the severity of sentences for others charged in the scandal.
