Just over a year ago, the world was shocked to learn that Lori Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, illegally used their wealth to get their daughters, Isabella Rose and Olivia Jade, into the University of Southern California. Ever since that announcement, they have said that they are innocent. Well, today they are singing a different tune. They have both decided to plead guilty to the charges, according to WBZ.
According to the press release from the Department of Justice in the District of Massachusetts, they will plead guilty on a to be determined date to U.S. District Court Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton. “Loughlin will plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud, while Giannulli will plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud and honest services wire and mail fraud.”
If the judge accepts the deal, then she will do two months in prison and he will do five months. Along with the prison time, she will “pay a $150,000 fine and two years of supervised release with 100 hours of community service.” While he will pay “a $250,000 fine and two years of supervised release with 250 hours of community service.”
Who else is screaming 🐂💩? Talk about white, rich privilege. Felicity Huffman pled guilty almost immediately and she got 12 days. This couple strung the courts along for 14 months, and they get a little more time than her. What happened to throwing the book at them?
The one thing that no matter what the judge rules, their careers are over. Last year, $400,000 did not seem like a lot of money to the couple, now it feels like millions and millions of dollars. She better hope that Full House stays in syndication for a long time. Which it will.
It will be interesting to see if the judge, will accept the deal. Especially because people are going to be very vocal about how unhappy they are that the couple is getting such a light sentence.
