Lori Loughlin Receives Another Charge in College Admissions Scandal

The “Varsity Blues” scandal has another new addition to the story. Actress Lori Loughlin is among 11 parents who on Tuesday were hit with more charges in the national college admissions scandal. Her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, was also charged with the new count.

According to the new indictment, the 11 allegedly

“conspired to commit federal program bribery by bribing employees of the University of Southern California to facilitate their children’s admission. In exchange for the bribes, employees of the university allegedly designated the defendants’ children as athletic recruits — with little or no regard for their athletic abilities — or as members of other favored admissions categories.”

Loughlin and Giannulli are awaiting trial.
