Former sitcom star Lori Loughlin allegedly paid $US500,000 to help her daughters cheat their way into the high-profile University of Southern California.
Full House actress Lori Loughlin has been released on $US1 million bail after being charged with helping her daughters cheat their way into a high-profile California university.
Douglas Hodge — the former chief executive of investment firm Pimco, and another of the 33 parents charged in the $US25 million scam — appeared earlier in the day in a Boston court. He was released on $US500,000 bail by a federal magistrate who overruled a federal prosecutor's objection to Mr Hodge keeping his passport.
The Los Angeles judge ruled Ms Loughlin could continue travelling to and from the Canadian province of British Columbia for a number of productions she is working on as long as she notifies US authorities in advance of each trip.Ms Loughlin and Mr Hodge are among 50 people charged with taking part in a scam that steered graduating high school students into elite universities, including Yale, Georgetown and Stanford, by cheating the admissions process.
Ms Huffman was one of several charged who appeared in court on Tuesday before being released on bail.
