A former assistant coach at the University of Southern California (USC) and a former senior executive are the latest people to plead guilty to charges in connection with bribery and fraud relating to the college admissions scandal.
Former coach Laura Janke, 36, and parent Toby MacFarlane, 56, are among the 50 who were charged in earlier in the year with conspiring with William “Rick” Singer, 58, in a scam that allowed wealthy parents to cheat and use bribes to help secure spots for their children at well-known universities like Yale, Georgetown, and USC, according to the Justice Department.
