Several wealthy parents were also accused of having bribed employees at colleges and universities in the U.S. to have their children admitted into prestigious programs. The couple had initially pleaded not guilty. Loughlin is famous for the sitcom Full House.

Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives) had already been sentenced to two weeks in prison in 2019 as part of the scandal, but she did not serve the full sentence.

The actor had pleaded guilty to paying a bribe of $15,000 to have her eldest daughter's entrance exam results improved.
