Lori Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, are now facing even more charges in the “Varsity Blues” college admissions scandal. The US Attorney in Boston filed a felony charge of Federal Program Bribery – that could add 10 more years to any potential sentence.
Prosecutors say that bribing officials of a university that receives federal funding makes it worthy. If convicted on that, as well as the other charges already on tap, the couple is staring at 50 years in prison and fines of around $1.23 million each. Their attorneys haven’t commented, but the two have vowed to fight the charges and are currently preparing for trial. No word on when they’ll be arraigned on the new charge.
The registrar at USC has confirmed that Lori’s daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella Giannulli, are no longer enrolled. Because of student privacy laws, they couldn’t provide additional information.
