Yale rescinds admission of a student whose family paid $1.2 million to get them in
Yale University has rescinded the admission of a student that officials at the school say was involved in an alleged nationwide college entrance scam that ensnared 50 people, including Hollywood actresses and chief executive officers, some of whom appeared Monday in a Boston federal courtroom.
"Yale has rescinded the admission of one student as a result of this matter," Yale spokesman Thomas Conroy said in a statement to ABC News. The hearing was the first in a series of hearings scheduled in Boston federal court for those charged. Story continuesAmong the 33 parents indicted are Academy Award-nominated actress Felicity Huffman and actress Lori Loughlin, best known for her character Aunt Becky in the ABC sitcom"Full House." Loughlin's husband, fashion desinger, Mossimo Giannulli, was also charged in scam.
Martin Fox, president of a Houston-area tennis academy also pleaded not guilty. Fox, who is also involved in guiding student basketball players to college, allegedly accepted at least $250,000 in bribes to help Singer with both athlete recruitment and test-taking fraud, prosecutors said. Some members of Singer's inner circle also appeared before a federal judge in Boston, including his bookkeeper Steven Masera. Mikaela Sanford, who was also employed by Singer, allegedly took online classes for certain students and is accused of"secretly taking" art history and biology classes so that the daughter of Robert Zangrillo, founder and CEO of Dragon Global, a Florida-based private investment firm, could get into USC, according to the federal indictment.
