“I accept the court’s decision today without reservation,” Huffman said at the time of her sentencing. “I have always been prepared to accept whatever punishment Judge Talwani imposed. I broke the law. I have admitted that and I pleaded guilty to this crime. There are no excuses or justifications for my actions. Period.”

The actress wasn’t the only one who got caught up in the college admissions scandal.

Lori Loughlin also spent significant time behind bars for her own involvement.

Loughlin, 58, and her husband Mossimo Giannulli paid $500,000 in bribes to have their daughters admitted to the University of Southern California as rowing recruits in 2019.
