Felicity Huffman has thrown in the towel in her college admissions cheating scandal … pleading guilty, along with 13 other parents.
The former “Desperate Housewives” star was one of 14 people who entered guilty pleas Monday. She pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud as well as honest services mail fraud.
Felicity Huffman, 56, of Los Angeles, Calif, paid Rick Singer $15,000 to rig her daughter’s SAT test. The girl had twice the amount of time as normal to take the exam and the proctor corrected her answers afterward.
As for sentencing … no word. TMZ broke the story, our sources in the prosecutor’s office say they wanted some prison time. The prosecutor recommends a sentence to the judge, and the judge has the final word.
The maximum sentence is 20 years in prison.
Lori Loughlin and her husband were not part of the plea deal.
