Loughlin and her husbandMossimo Giannulli, 55, are among the dozens charged in an alleged college admissions cheating scam involving elite colleges and universities including Yale, Georgetown, the University of Southern California and Stanford.
The actress and the Mossimo clothing company founder allegedly paid $500,000 to have her daughters,Olivia Jade,19, andIsabella Rose, 20, be designated crew team recruits even though they had never rowed, the indictment states. (It is unclear whether or not Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose are believed to have known about the alleged scheme.)
Last Wednesday, Loughlin and Giannulli appeared before a judge for the first time in a Boston courtroom. During their 6-minute hearing, the couple waived their right to a preliminary hearing. They also agreed to several pretrial conditions, including surrendering their passports and no possession of firearms.
The couplefaces felony chargesof conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud. They have yet to enter pleas in the cases against them and another court date for them has not been set.
