LOS ANGELES—Former USC men’s and women’s water polo coach Jovan Vavic was found guilty Friday of taking more than $200,000 in bribes to help parents get their kids into the university as athletes even though they were not legitimate student competitors.
After a half-day of deliberations, Vavic was found guilty by a federal jury in Boston of fraud and bribery charges, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts.
