College Admissions Cheating Scandal,Criminal Justice,Culture
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."
