    Default 50 people charged in massive college entrance exam cheating scandal in which parents paid up to $6M

    Two Hollywood stars have been implicated in a massive cheating scandal.

    Full House star Lori Loughlin and Oscar nominee Felicity Huffman are two of the 50 parents and coaches charged in a plot to get their children into schools including Georgetown, Stanford, UCLA, University of San Diego, USC, University of Texas, Wake Forest, and Yale.

    The scheme was uncovered by the FBI and federal prosecutors in Boston, and involved parents paying bribes of up to $6 million to get their children into these elite schools.

    In many instances, the children were unaware that their parents had paid these bribes, according to federal documents.

    Most of those charged either paid to get higher SAT scores or faked an athletic resume that, with the participation of a bribed college coach, helped the children get accepted to a college as a team's recruit.

    Huffman has two daughters with husband William H. Macy including Sofia, who is 18, and 16-year old Georgia.

    Loughlin and her designer husband Mossimo Giannulli also have two daughters: Olivia, 19, and Isabella, 20.

    Macy was not charged but Giannulli was named alongside his wife in the papers.

    Huffman, Loughlin and Giannulli are all charged with Conspiracy to Commit Mail Fraud.

    Beginning in or about 2011, and continuing through the present, the defendants - principally individuals whose high-school age children were applying to college - conspired with others to use bribery and other forms of fraud to facilitate their children's admission to colleges and universities in the District of Massachusetts and elsewhere, including Yale University, Stanford University, the University of Texas, the University of Southern California, and the University of Southern California - Los Angeles,' stated the 200 page document that was filed on Tuesday.

    'This case is about the widening corruption of elite college admissions through the steady application of wealth, combined with fraud,' US Attorney Andrew Lelling said on Tuesday in a press conference.

    'There can be no separate college admission for wealthy, and I will add there will not be a separate criminal justice system either.'

    William Rick Singer, the founder of Key Worldwide Foundation, had been identified as the mastermind behind the scandal.

    The documents claim that since 2011, Singer has received $25 million from parents which was then used to payoff or bribe individuals who could 'designate their children as recruited athletes, or other favored admissions categories.'
