Thirteen parents accused in a college admissions scheme, including actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, are scheduled to appear for the first time in federal court in Boston on Wednesday, where a judge will set the conditions of their release.
The first group of parents made appearances Friday. Here are the parents scheduled to appear in court Wednesday:
Elizabeth and Manuel Henriquez: Manuel Henriquez, founder and CEO of a publicly traded finance company in Palo Alto, and his wife, Elizabeth, allegedly availed themselves of Singer’s test-rigging and athletic recruiting schemes to get their two daughters into Georgetown and another unnamed university.
Peter Jan “P.J.” Sartorio: Sartorio, who sells frozen burritos and other packaged foods under his brands PJ’s Organics and Nate’s, allegedly paid $15,000 to have his daughter’s answers on the ACT corrected by Singer’s accomplice. Sartorio paid Singer $15,000 in cash, according to an FBI affidavit. When Singer called the Menlo Park, Calif., resident at the direction of the FBI, agents recorded Sartorio on a wiretap expressing his relief that he’d paid cash and hadn’t left a paper trail.
