HEEEEEEEEE

BOSTON —

Dozens of people have been charged in a nationwide college admissions cheating and recruitment scheme, federal officials announced.

The United States Attorney’s Office will hold a press conference Tuesday at the federal courthouse in Boston to announce the charges.


Prominent entertainers and business owners are implicated in the alleged scandal that involves boosting SAT scores and bribing college administrators, according to the criminal complaint.

Actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin are among those named in the complaint. They face charges of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud.

The complaint alleges Huffman "made a purported charitable contribution of $15,000 to KWF to participate in the college entrance exam cheating scheme on behalf of her oldest daughter."

Huffman allegedly paid to have someone who "controlled" an SAT testing center proctor her daughter's exam in Los Angeles and secretly correct her incorrect answers.

"Ultimately, Huffman's daughter received a score of 1420 in the SAT, an improvement of approximately 400 points over her PSAT," the complaint reads.

This is a developing story...

WCVB will have more information when it becomes available.

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."
