A 48-year-old Chinese-Canadian woman became the 35th parent charged in the American college bribery scheme investigation after officials said a probe revealed she paid $400,000 to get her son into a prestigious California school by having him labeled as a soccer player despite his not playing the sport competitively.

Prosecutors said that Xiaoning Sui of British Columbia paid William “Rick” Singer, head of the nonprofit the Key Worldwide Foundation.
