U.S. charges dozens in college admissions fraud scheme
  • At least 40, including two actresses, have been indicted in a nationwide college entrance exam cheating scandal, according to court docs.

  • The accused allegedly tried to get students into high-profile colleges as recruited athletes, regardless of athletic ability.

  • Some indicted include college coaches; however, there's no indication the schools were involved

At least 40 people, including two Hollywood actresses, have been indicted by the FBI and the U.S. attorney's office in Boston in a nationwide college entrance exam cheating scandal, NBC News reported, citing court documents.

The documents, which were unsealed Tuesday morning, allege that the accused aimed to facilitate students getting into high-profile D-1 schools, including Georgetown, Stanford, UCLA, Yale, University of Texas, University of San Diego, University of Southern California and Wake Forest as recruited athletes regardless of their athletic ability.

Some of those who were indicted included college coaches but there's no indication the schools were involved, according to NBC News.

Hollywood actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin are among the two of more than 40 charged in connection with the scheme, according to court documents.

One of the unsealed court documents included indictments against former Yale University women's soccer coach Rudolph "Rudy" Meredith, who has been charged with two counts of wire fraud.

Prosecutors allege that Meredith conspired with William Rick Singer, the owner of Edge College & Career Network, which was also known as "The Key," to take bribes from the parents of college hopefuls.

In one case, Meredith and Singer worked together to have a Yale applicant, whom did not have a background in competitive soccer, to have an athletic "profiles" that allegedly described her as a "co-captain of a prominent club soccer team in southern California."

Does the FBI even do anything useful anymore? Something like this -- if we had a functional media, they investigate, break the story, and this scheme is over. It's such overkill to use the Feds on stupid stuff like this. If there's no real crime for them to investigate, get rid of them.

Ah, Lori Laughlin was uncle Jesse's squeeze. So basically, a couple of low-level actresses.

Seriously - supposedly some of these parents payed up to $6M. If you donate $6M doesn't that automatically get your kid in anywhere? Or do you have to be connected as well?

Also I had a huge crush on Lori Loughlin back when she did New Kids, Secret Admirer, Rad.

Lori Laughlin. Oh yeah.
And stars in a hallmark tv series.

Again, ashamed that I know that.

Don't understand how you can't come to agreement as someone offering the equivalent to the funds necessary to send 27 people to Yale for four years each to just say, "Listen. My kid's a dipshit. Let them in and we'll donate $1MM extra to fund a scholarship. We cool?"
