Additional Parents Plead Guilty and Receive Sentences in College Admissions Scandal -

On March 31, 2020, U.S. District Court Judge Nathaniel Gorton for the District of Massachusetts sentenced California resident Elizabeth Henriquez to seven months in prison, two years of supervised release and a $200,000 fine for her role in the ongoing college admissions scandal known as Operation Varsity Blues. Henriquez had previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, honest services mail and wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. She admitted to paying former college admissions consultant, William “Rick” Singer, to arrange for her children’s SAT scores to be corrected and paying an additional $400,000 to present her daughter as a tennis recruit to a prominent university despite the fact that the girl did not play competitive tennis.
