“Desperate Housewives” actress Felicity Huffman may avoid jail time for her role in the college admissions scandal due to her lack of criminal history, her decision to plead guilty, her display of remorse, and the relatively small amount she paid.
Prosecutors have claimed that Huffman paid $15,000 to a Harvard graduate to correct her daughter’s SAT score, giving her a 400-point boost. Other parents, including “Full House” actress Lori Loughlin, allegedly paid as much as $500,000 in the scam.
