The latest news on the University of Southern California's bribery scandal suggests Lori Laughlin could be sentenced to prison for decades. Lori, along with her husband Mossimo Giannulli and nine other parents, is accused of bribing the college's employees to get their children admitted to the prestigious university.
The actress and her husband are accused of paying $50K to secure their daughters' admission as crew recruits. Earlier, in April 2019, Lori and Mossimo had pleaded "not guilty" to the charges.
However, with the politics building up and the news covering national headlines, the couple could come to a settlement with the authorities. The parties to the case are scheduled to appear at a hearing on 20 November 2019.
If proven guilty, the husband-wife duo could face a prison sentencing up to a maximum of 45 years. But, prosecutors suggest they could be jailed for about 20 years. However, until the court updates its final decision, one can only speculate.
