SAN DIEGO — Former KFMB owner Elisabeth Kimmel and 10 other parents, including Full House actress Lori Loughlin, were indicted Tuesday on new federal charges as prosecutors pressure them to admit guilt in a college admissions bribery scheme.
A grand jury in Boston indicted the parents on charges of conspiracy to commit federal program bribery. The count accuses the parents of attempting to bribe officials at an organization that receives at least $10,000 in federal funding. They are accused of paying to get their children admitted to the University of Southern California. All 11 defendants have previously pleaded not guilty to other charges in the scheme.
The new charge alleges Kimmel and the other parents conspired to commit federal program bribery by bribing employees of the University of Southern California to facilitate their childrens admission, according to federal prosecutors. In exchange for the bribes, employees of the university allegedly designated the defendants children as athletic recruits – with little or no regard for their athletic abilities – or as members of other favored admissions categories.
