ACTRESS FELICITY HUFFMAN has been sentenced to 14 days in prison for her role in the sweeping college admissions scandal .
The Desperate Housewives actress was sentenced in Boston’s federal court after pleading guilty in May to a single count of conspiracy and fraud.
Today, she was also given a $30,000 fine, 250 hours of community service and a year of supervised release.
She has admitted to paying an admissions consultant $15,000 to have a proctor correct her daughter’s SAT exam answers in 2017.
Prosecutors had recommended a month in prison and a $20,000 fine. Huffman’s lawyers said she should get a year of probation, 250 hours of community service and a $20,000 fine.
Huffman said before sentencing that “I am deeply ashamed of what I have done. I have inflicted more damage than I could ever imagine.”
She’s the first parent to be sentenced among 34 charged in the scheme.
Prosecutors are asking for a month in prison, while her lawyers recommend a year of probation.
