A Los Angeles-based CEO and author who wrote a book about parenting was sentenced to three weeks in prison for agreeing to pay $50,000 to have a proctor take the ACT exam for her son as part of the college admissions scam.
Jane Buckingham, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy fraud, is now the 11th parent to be sentenced in the sprawling scheme to cheat, bribe and lie in an attempt to game the college admissions system. The other 10 parents who have been sentenced, including actress Felicity Huffman, have received punishments ranging from probation to 5 months in prison.
