Lori Loughlin sentenced to two months for college admissions scandal

Former “Full House” TV star Lori Loughlin nearly broke down in tears Friday as she was sentenced to two months behind bars for admittedly conspiring to pay a half-million-dollar bribe to get her two daughters into the University of Southern California as fake rowing recruits.

“I’ve made an awful decision,” the actress told the judge, her voice breaking as she choked back tears during the video hearing. “I allowed myself to be swayed from my moral compass.”

Loughlin must surrender to start serving her sentence by Nov. 19. Her lawyers have asked that she be sent to Victorville Camp, which has a low-security section, in San Bernadino County near her home.

During the proceeding, Boston federal Judge Nathaniel Gorton OK’d the plea deal for Loughlin, 55, who was implicated with designer husband Mossimo Giannulli in the nationwide college admissions scandal.

Giannulli had been sentenced earlier Friday before the same judge and will serve five months behind bars.

The couple were accused of paying $500,000 to scheme mastermind William “Rick” Singer to falsely portray their daughters, social media “influencer” Olivia Jade Giannulli, 20, and Isabella Rose Giannulli, 21, as talented rowing crew athletes — even though neither of them ever participated in the sport.

As part of the pair’s sentences, Loughlin — an actress best known for portraying the wholesome “Aunt Becky” on the sitcom “Full House” from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s — will pay a $150,000 fine and perform 100 hours of community service.

The Italian-born Giannulli — founder of the multimillion-dollar clothing brand Mossimo — will pay a $250,000 fine and serve 250 hours of community service.

Loughlin’s lawyer insisted she has accepted responsibility and merely wanted for her daughters what she herself could not afford as a working-class kid.
