After the couple successfully bribed their younger daughter’s way into USC, Singer forwarded them a letter saying she was let in because of her “potential to make a significant contribution to the intercollegiate athletic program”, prosecutors wrote.
Loughlin responded: “This is wonderful news! (high-five emoji),” according to court filings.
Singer, who has also pleaded guilty, was expected to testify against them had the couple gone to trial.
Other parents who’ve been sent to prison for participating in the scam include “Desperate Housewives” actress Felicity Huffman.
She served nearly two weeks behind bars late last year after she admitted to paying $15,000 to have someone correct her daughter’s entrance exam answers. (Writer: Alanna Durkin Richer)
