Sections David Sidoo, whose career as a professional football player, stockbroker and venture capitalist has been overshadowed by the revelation he paid $200,000 to fix his sons’ college entrance exams, was sentenced Wednesday to 90 days in prison. Sidoo, a Canadian citizen who lives in Vancouver, pleaded guilty in March to a single count of conspiring with William “Rick” Singer, the Newport Beach consultant at the center of the admissions scandal, to rig his two sons’ SAT entrance exams. Federal prosecutors dropped a money-laundering charge against him in exchange for Sidoo acknowledging he’d committed fraud. Sidoo is one of 28 parents charged by the U.S. attorney’s office in Boston to have acknowledged their guilt. Another 10 have maintained their innocence and are moving toward a pair of trials, the first of which is scheduled to begin Oct. 5 in Boston. The case’s highest-profile defendants — actress Lori Loughlin and her fashion designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli — pleaded guilty in May and were slated to be sentenced on Aug.

  • Lori Loughlin's Daughter Olivia Jade Could Be Implicated in College
    Login Watch TV ☰ LORI LOUGHLIN · Published 6 days ago Lori Loughlin’s daughter Olivia Jade could be implicated in college admissions scam, legal analyst says By Julius Young | Fox News Lori Loughlin pleads not guilty in college admissions scam Actress Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli are charged with paying $500,000 in bribes to get their daughters admitted to the University of Southern California as crew recruits. After rejecting a plea bargain and pleading not guilty to fraud and money laundering charges in the multimillion-dollar college admissions cheating scam last week, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli could now be under more pressure to reach an agreement with federal prosecutors or risk possible implications for their daughters. Legal experts differ on whether the couple’s youngest daughter, Olivia Jade Giannulli, could be complicit in the criminal conspiracy surrounding the college admissions scam because she was copied on a damning email Loughlin sent to William "Rick" Singer. In that email, Loughlin asked for guidance on “how to proceed” in lling out and submitting Jade’s college applications after Jade’s “provisional acceptance as a recruited [crew] athlete” – a task the mastermind allegedly instructed an employee to complete on Jade’s behalf – this according to the 200-plus page criminal adavit obtained by Fox News. LORI LOUGHLIN TERRIFIED DAUGHTERS WILL HAVE TO TESTIFY AT COLLEGE ADMISSIONS SCAM TRIAL: REPORT According to one former federal prosecutor, this is all the ammunition prosecutors would need to potentially bring charges against the 19-year-old YouTube star if Loughlin and Giannulli fail to cooperate and admit their guilt in the scheme dubbed “Operation Varsity Blues” by the federal government.
