Actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman were among 50 people indicted on Tuesday in a widespread college admission bribery scandal. The racketeering conspiracy case includes the parents of applicants, ACT and SAT administrators, a test proctor and coaches at universities including Yale, Stanford, Georgetown, University of Southern California, UCLA and the University of Texas at Austin.
Prosecutors said parents paid a college test prep organization to help students cheat, either by having stand-ins take the tests, or by arranging for proctors to correct answers. College coaches were also allegedly bribed to label applicants as athletic recruits.
