Felicity Huffman pleaded guilty on Monday to paying to rig a college entrance exam for her daughter, as part of what authorities have described as a wide-ranging college admissions scandal.
William “Rick” Singer, a California college admissions consultant, pleaded guilty in March to charges that he facilitated cheating and helped bribe university sports coaches to present clients’ children as fake athletic recruits.
Assistant US Attorney Eric Rosen said prosecutors recommended a four-month prison sentence and a $20,000 fine for Huffman.
Huffman walked into the courthouse with her brother on Monday and did not speak to reporters during her arrival.
