I’m sure you’ve heard about the Lori Loughlin college scandal by now. It’s a mess.
Something that keeps nagging at me, however, is that only the parents seem to be held accountable for this.
I mean… there is absolutely NO WAY the kids didn’t know about it. Sure – the parents are mostly to blame in this situation, but their adult children are at the very LEAST complicit.
They KNEW they were lying.
Loughlin and her husband are facing jail time because they opted to use the athletics route to gain their daughters admittance into University of Southern California.
This required daughters Isabella and Olivia, who had never before rowed in their lives, to pretend they were on crew teams.
In order to sell that, they posed for photos on ergometers, suggesting that they were both aware and willing participants in their parents’ plan.
Riiiight.
I filled out all of my college applications myself. My parents had nothing to do with it. If 18-year-olds are mature enough to join the military, they’re mature enough to realize lying and cheating is wrong.
They’re not simply “victims” here.
And the law seems to agree. It appears that Lori’s oldest daughter is now a possible subject of her own investigation.
According to Daily Mail:
Multiple sources tell DailyMail.com that one of the actress’ daughters received a target letter from federal prosecutors in Massachusetts earlier this month regarding the Operation Varsity Blues investigation.
That letter informed the embattled University of Southern California student that she was the subject of an investigation which could result in criminal charges.
As she should be.
There are consequences to actions. It’s too bad her parents never taught her that.
No students have been charged or arrested at this point in the investigation, but court documents make it clear that some of the youngsters were aware of the illegal actions being carried out in their behalf.
‘It is a not-so-veiled threat,’ said one source who has seen the letter.
‘[The US Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts] is making it pretty clear that they have evidence that very strongly suggests she knew of the illegal plot.’
She posed for FAKE PICTURES for crying out loud. Of course she knew.
The sources DailyMail.com spoke with only knew about one of the daughters getting a letter, the tone of which was described as ‘ominous.’
That individual then added that they know five people who have received letters similar to Loughlin’s daughter, noting that in all five cases the parent/s refused a plea deal and later filed a plea of not guilty.
As in they STILL see themselves as being above the “rules.”
I hope this catches up with them.
