Giannulli and his wife, Full House star Lori Loughlin, both changed their pleas to guilty in May; Loughlin will face two months as part of her plea deal. Giannulli’s sentence also includes a $250,000 fine and 250 hours of community service upon release.
According to a sentencing memo, 20-year-old daughter Olivia Jade Giannulli knew about the scam and discussed “how to avoid the possibility that a high school counselor would disrupt their scheme” with her parents.
Felicity Huffman, another actor implicated in the scandal last year, served just 11 days of a 14-day prison sentence after pleading guilty to fraud charges from her attempt to up her daughter’s SAT score. Giannulli and Loughlin maintained their not-guilty plea for over a year, even trying and failing to dismiss their charges in March. Loughlin will also be sentenced on August 21.
