American actress Felicity Huffman was arrested for bribing her daughter’s college admission.
A case was filed against Felicity Huffman, the popular actress of the film ‘Desperate Housewives’, in which the petitioner alleged that she had bribed her daughter into college.
However, the American actress has now revealed that she paid a $15,000 bribe for her daughter’s college admission in May 2017, which she is ashamed of, but it was only because she wanted to be a good mother.
According to the report of the British broadcasting organization, the American court sentenced the actress to 14 days in prison and a fine of 30 thousand dollars for the college admission scandal. In addition, the actress will have to perform 250 hours of community service.
Expressing her shame for her mistake, the actress apologized to the education organization including her daughter, husband and family.
“I especially want to apologize to the students who work hard to get into college and to their parents who make sacrifices to support their children,” the convicted American actress said.
In handing down the verdict, Judge Indira Talwani said she believed Huffman had fully accepted responsibility for her actions, but not what she did to be a good mother.
It should be noted that 50 people have been accused of giving bribes to children, but there is no involvement of children in them.
On the other hand, the petitioner against the American actress said that she should be sentenced to 12 months imprisonment instead of 14 days in jail.
The petitioner said that places are being fraudulently created for the admission of young people in the best universities of America, including Yale, Georgetown and Stanford universities.
On the other hand, US Senator Bernie Sander wrote in a tweet about the punishment of the said actress that we have a criminal justice system that is racist, broken and needs to be improved.
