She was accused in paying $15,000 to a fake charity created by Rick Singer to change her daughter’s SATs scores. Huffman broke down in tears in front of the judge after stating:

I had no knowledge of Mr. Singer paying (others). Everything else (prosecutors) said I did, I did.

The plea agreement, recommended by the prosecutors, included four months behind bars. Not only that, Huffman will also need to pay a $20,000 fine.

It is believed that the actress will be sentenced on Sept. 13. But how about her fellow accused Lori Loughlin? Lori has taken a different path as she decided to plead not guilty.
