Federal prosecutors asked for a judge to sentence actress Lori Loughlin to 2 months in prison and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, to 5 months for their roles in a widespread college-admissions cheating scandal.
Giannulli deserves more time behind bars because he"was the more active participant in the scheme," according to the sentencing memo."Loughlin took a less active role, but was nonetheless fully complicit."The recommended punishments"account for the seriousness of the offenses, and in particular Giannulli and Loughlin’s repeated and deliberate conduct, their decision to allow their children to become complicit in crime," the prosecutors' filing said.
In winning their daughters spots at the private university in Los Angeles, Giannulli and Loughlin falsely portrayed the young women as elite crew athletes worthy of special consideration. Prosecutors said the oldest daughter was copied on an email from Giannulli to Singer that included a picture of her posing on a rowing machine.
They also allege that the parents instructed their younger daughter not to answer any questions from her high school counselor if he asked about her being flagged as a crew-team recruit. Giannulli later confronted that counselor"aggressively" and"bluntly stated that was a coxswain," according to the memo.
At the onset of the investigation into the massive admissions scandal, authorities said they had no interest in going after any of the children who benefited from the schemes.
