Lori Loughlin started her two-month prison sentence on Friday for her role
in the college admissions scandal, Fox News confirmed.

The actress reported to the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin,
Calif., on Friday, a U.S. Bureau of Prisons spokesperson at the facility
confirmed to Fox News.

The “Fuller House” alum was handed a two-month term behind bars in August
after she and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, pleaded
guilty to charges stemming from $500,000 payments to scam mastermind
William “Rick” Singer to get their daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella
Giannulli, recruited onto University of Southern California's crew team.
The two had never participated in the sport.

FCI Dublin is a low-security federal prison for roughly 1,200 female
inmates. The BOP spokesperson confirmed it is the same facility where
"Desperate Housewives" actress Felicity Huffman served 11 days of a
planned two-week sentence for similar crimes.

During her Aug. 22 sentencing hearing, Loughlin -- who was wearing a white
blouse and appeared virtually via Zoom -- initially seemed calm, showing
little emotion as her attorney BJ Trach said she is “profoundly sorry” for
her actions. But when it was Loughlin's turn to address the judge, she
forced back tears as she apologized.

"I made an awful decision. I went along with a plan to give my daughters
an unfair advantage in the college admissions process and in doing so I
ignored my intuition and allowed myself to be swayed from my moral
compass,” she said. “I have great faith in God, and I believe in
redemption and I will do everything in my power to redeem myself and use
this experience as a catalyst to do good.”

Describing the “devastating” impact the charges have had on Loughlin's
family life and career, Trach said: “Lori lost the acting career she spent
40 years building.” He also called the conduct "completely out of
character" for Loughlin.

Trach touched on how growing up Loughlin's "family lived paycheck-to-
paycheck."

"She didn’t attend college because her family couldn’t afford it," said
Trach, stating that "from a young age" Loughlin "was determined to succeed
for herself and for her family."

He also highlighted Loughlin's recent volunteer work at an elementary
school in LA with children with special needs.

Meanwhile, Assistant U.S. Attorney Justin O’Connell said Loughlin wasn’t
content with the advantages her children already had, thanks to their
wealth, and “was focused on getting what she wanted, no matter how and no
matter the cost.” He said prison time was necessary to send a message that
“everyone, no matter your status, is accountable in our justice system.”

The sentences put an end to more than a year of legal battles. Loughlin
and Giannulli initially pleaded not guilty to expanded charges of bribery
brought against them in October along with 11 other parents swept up in
the scandal. In May, the duo shocked many when they changed course and
agreed to plead guilty as Huffman did in 2019.

In their plea agreement, Loughlin, 56, agreed to serve two months and pay
a $150,000 fine along with two years of supervised release and 100 hours
of community service. Giannulli, meanwhile, would serve five months in
prison, pay a $250,000 fine with two years of supervised release and 250
hours of community service.

Loughlin's sentence comes early, as a judge decided in August that both
she and Giannulli had until Nov. 19 to report to prison. As of Friday,
Giannulli has yet to report to a facility to begin his five-month
sentence.

The fashion designer, who is 57, also appeared in a Massachusetts federal
court via Zoom in August from what appeared to be a conference room in Los
Angeles. He wore a dark suit, a light pink shirt, and a dark purple tie.
His hearing took place just hours before Loughlin's.

Following Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton's acceptance of his plea deal,
Giannulli addressed the court.

PRISON IN COLLEGE ADMISSIONS SCANDAL CASE

"I do deeply regret, as [attorney] Sean [Berkowitz] said, the harm that my
actions have caused my daughters, my wife, and others. I take full
responsibility for my conduct, I'm ready to accept consequences and move
forward with the lessons I've learned from this experience," Loughlin's
husband said.

Gorton delivered a scorching speech to denounce Giannnulli's crimes. He
informed the fashion designer that he belongs in jail to dissuade others
in his position who believe they have enough money to buy whatever they
want.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Kristen Kearney spoke to Giannulli's sentence,
calling the five months he will serve "appropriate." Kearney dubbed
Giannulli's crime more than "just overzealous parenting."

"It is criminal and desiring of the five months imprisonment," Kearney
said.

Berkowitz also spoke to Giannulli's actions, calling his celebrity client
"humble."

Berkowitz added that Giannulli "regrets deeply bringing his wife [Lori
Loughlin] into the scheme," and said the attention garnered from the
scandal has caused the couple's daughters to be "bullied on social media."

U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling agreed to the terms of the plea, outlining
Giannulli’s expanded role in the scandal compared to the “Fuller House”
actress in his sentence recommendation that was obtained by Fox News.

“The crime Giannulli and Loughlin committed was serious. Over the course
of two years, they engaged twice in Singer’s fraudulent scheme. They
involved both their daughters in the fraud, directing them to pose in
staged photographs for use in fake athletic profiles and instructing one
daughter how to conceal the scheme from her high school counselor. As
between the defendants, the evidence suggests that Giannulli was the more
active participant in the scheme,” Lelling wrote. “He engaged more
frequently with Singer, directed the bribe payments to USC and Singer, and
personally confronted his daughter’s high school counselor to prevent the
scheme from being discovered, brazenly lying about his daughter’s athletic
abilities.”

He added: “Loughlin took a less active role, but was nonetheless fully
complicit, eagerly enlisting Singer a second time for her younger
daughter, and coaching her daughter not to ‘say too much’ to her high
school’s legitimate college counselor, lest he catch on to their fraud.”

In addition to the sentence, Loughlin was fired from roles on both
Netflix's "Fuller House" and Hallmark's "When Calls the Heart" after her
role in the scandal came to light in 2019.

No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,
appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.

Senile loser and NAMBLA supporter Nancy Pelosi got "Trumped" on February
5, 2020. "President Trump, Not Guilty."
