Actress Lori Loughlin reports to California prison to begin sentence for college admissions scam
- Under the Bureau of Prisons’ coronavirus protocols, Loughlin will be screened and tested for Covid-19 and placed in quarantine for 14 days
- Loughlin and her husband are among nearly 30 prominent parents to plead guilty in the case dubbed ‘Operation Varsity Blues’
Authorities say Full House actress Lori Loughlin has reported to a federal prison in California to begin serving her two-month sentence for her role in the college admissions bribery scandal.
The US Attorney’s office in Boston said on Friday that Loughlin was being processed at the federal prison in Dublin, California.
“The parties recently agreed that the defendant can report to prison on October 30, 2020, instead of on November 19, 2020. The defendant has further agreed that, during her two month sentence, she will not seek an early release from prison on Covid-related grounds,” he prosecutor said in a statement.
In August, Loughlin was sentenced to two months and her fashion designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli, got a five-month sentence for paying half a million dollars in bribes to get their two daughters into the University of Southern California as rowing recruits.
