Actress Lori Loughlin was sentenced to two months in prison on Friday, and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, to five months for their roles in a far-reaching college admissions cheating scandal.

The "Full House" actress told U.S. District Court Judge Nathaniel Gorton that she'll "redeem myself" and "use this experience as a catalyst to do good and give back for the rest of my life."

Loughlin appeared to be reading from a prepared statement when she then wiped her eyes and seemed to speak off script in her final words to the judge.

"Your honor I am truly, profoundly and deeply sorry," she said. " I am ready to face the consequences and make amends."
