BOSTON—Fifty people, including Hollywood stars Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin, were charged Tuesday, March 12, in a scheme in which wealthy parents allegedly bribed college coaches and other insiders to get their children into some of the nation’s most selective schools.
Federal authorities called it the biggest college admissions scam ever prosecuted by the U.S. Justice Department, with the parents accused of paying an estimated $25 million in bribes.
