The Hollywood actress Lori Loughlin surrendered to a prison in California on Friday to begin serving her two month sentence for her role in the college admissions scandal.
TMZ reported that Loughlin reported to FCI Dublin, the same facility where former “Desperate Housewives” star Felicity Huffman served out her two week sentence, near San Francisco. This was somewhat surprising given the fact that Loughlin had previously asked to do her time at Victorville, which is closer to L.A.
Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli, who has been sentenced to five months in prison for his role in the scandal, had until November 19 to turn themselves in to prison. They each pled guilty back in May to charges related to them paying $500,000 in bribe money to have their two daughters admitted to the University of Southern California as members of the crew team, even though neither girl had ever rowed before.
On top of her prison sentence, Loughlin will have to pay a $150k fine, be on 2 years of supervised release, and complete 250 hours of community service.
Earlier this week, a source spoke out to say that Loughlin was “mentally preparing” herself for prison and that she just wanted to get it over with.
“She’s mentally preparing for this. She wants to go in, do her time, and get out,” a source close to Loughlin told People Magazine. “She wants it to be as uneventful as possible, and she wants this to be a distant memory by 2021.”
“She is going to set her jaw and do her time,” the insider added. “Of course she’s dreading it, but she’s resigned that it’s the way to get this behind her. She’s already thinking about how 2021 will be better for her, and she’ll be able to move forward.”
During her sentencing back in August, Loughlin became emotional as she addressed the judge.
“I made an awful decision,” she said. “I went along with a plan to give my daughters an unfair advantage in the college admissions process. In doing so, I ignored my intuition and allowed myself to be swayed from my moral compass.”
“I thought I was acting out of love for my children, but in reality it only undermined and diminished my daughters’ abilities and accomplishments,” Loughlin added.
