from prosecutors seeking information about some of the students involved in the fraud case. Although the prep schools are not targets of the investigation, prosecutors want to know whether the parents and others accused in the case sought or received help from the schools, sources told The Times.
People with knowledge of the case said it’s likely prosecutors are looking at more parents. Court documents said that the scheme’s mastermind, William “Rick” Singer, had more than 700 clients. Huffman was initially represented by Hollywood’s top criminal defense attorney, Blair Berk; but because the case is in Boston, she will be defended by Marty Murphy of Foley Hoag. Loughlin is represented by Perry Viscounty of Latham & Watkins.
Huffman is accused of disguising a $15,000 charitable payment in the bribery scheme, according to court records. Prosecutors alleged she met with a confidential witness who explained that he could control an SAT testing center and arrange for someone to proctor her daughter’s test and correct it. The actress’ older daughter took the test in December 2017 and received a score of 1420. That was a 400-point improvement from her first test. In October, the FBI recorded Huffman allegedly discussing participating in the same scheme for her younger daughter; however, she did not ultimately pursue it.Loughlin, of “Full House” fame, and Huffman, whose credits include the hit ABC show “Desperate Housewives,” are charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud.
