Actress Lori Loughlin faces hearing in US college cheating scandal
|
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Actress Lori Loughlin is due in court on Tuesday for a hearing on whether the lawyers defending her against charges that she participated in a large college admissions scam have a conflict and must be disqualified.
Federal prosecutors in Boston have accused the "Full House" star and her fashion designer husband Mossimo Giannulli of arranging to pay bribes to get her two daughters admitted to the University of Southern Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, (USC) as purported crew recruits.
They are among 51 people charged since March with participating in a vast scheme in which wealthy parents conspired to use bribery and other forms of fraud to secure admission of their children to top universities.
Prosecutors claim they did so with the help of William "Rick" Singer, a California college admissions consultant who has pleaded guilty to facilitating cheating on college admissions tests and helping bribe university sports coaches to present clients’ children as fake athletic recruits.
Loughlin and Giannulli are both represented by the law firm Latham & Watkins, which also until recently represented USC on other matters. Prosecutors contend the firm’s representation of the alleged victim is a conflict that warrants disqualification.
