A former Napa Valley vineyard owner was sentenced to five months in prison for his role in the national college admissions scam
Agustin Huneeus Jr., the fifth parent sentenced in the scam, pleaded guilty in May to conspiracy to commit fraud. His five-month prison sentence is the longest so far for a parent in the scandal, eclipsing an earlier sentence of four months.
He actively pursued the scam for two years and told his daughter to have a"shut-your-trap mentality" about it, prosecutors wrote. She has not been charged in the case.A once-acclaimed attorney who paid $75,000 to cheat on daughter's ACT sentenced to 1 month in prisonHuneeus' lawyers, meanwhile, have argued his sentence should be mitigated, in part because — since the USC offer was rescinded — his daughter never took anyone's spot at the university.
