College cheating

Actress Felicity Huffman is due to plead guilty on Monday, May 13, to paying to have someone cheat on her daughter’s behalf on a college entrance exam, part of a wide-ranging scandal in which wealthy parents used bribery and fraud to secure their children spots at prominent U.S. universities. The onetime star of the television series “Desperate Housewives” is set to plead guilty in Boston federal court to a conspiracy charge for paying $15,000 to have someone secretly correct her daughter’s SAT college entrance exam answers.
