Desperate

actress
Felicity
Huffman
has
been
sentenced
to
14
days
in
jail
for
paying
bribes
to
get
her
daughter's
admission
in
a
top
university.
She
has
also
been
fined
$
30,000,
plus
250
hours
of
community
service
and
one
year
supervised
release.
Federal
judge
Indira
Talwani
told
Huffman
in
a
Boston
court
on
Friday,
"I
think
you
take
your
sentence
and
you
move
forward
You
can
rebuild
your
life
after
this.
You've
paid
your
dues."
Huffman
is
supposed
to
report
to
prison
on
October
25.
She
said
in
a
statement
that
she
"accepts
the
court's
decision
today
without
reservation." She
added,
"I
broke
the
law.
I
have
admitted
that
and
I
pleaded
guilty
to
this
crime.
There
are
no
excuses
or
justifications
for
my
action."
Huffman
had
gotten
into
a
similar
trouble
back
in
May,
when
she
had
plead
guilty
for
having
paid
$
15,000
to
a
fake
charity
that
helped
her
daughter
cheat
when
she
took
SATs
for
her
college
admission.
She
was
one
of
the
first
to
be
sentenced
among
dozens
others
who
were
charged
in
a
big
scam
to
help
children
of
elite
parents
get
admitted
into
prestigious
universities.
