Lori Loughlin is out of prison after serving a two-month sentence for her role in a wide-reaching college admissions scandal.
Loughlin, known for her role in the family sitcom Full House, walked out of the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California, on Monday, a spokesperson with the prison confirmed to the Washington Examiner. The low-security prison features a minimum-security satellite camp.
“She is no longer in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons. For privacy, safety and security reasons, we cannot discuss release plans for any inmate,” the spokesperson said.
In August, the 56-year-old actress was sentenced to two months in prison after she and her 55-year-old husband, Mossimo Giannulli, were accused of paying $500,000 in bribes to get their two daughters into the University of Southern California, claiming they were part of the school’s rowing team despite neither daughter having experience with competitive rowing.
Giannulli received a six-month sentence, which he is serving at another federal facility in California.
The couple is just two of several high-profile and wealthy parents charged in relation to a sweeping $25 million Justice Department investigation that uncovered dozens of instances of misconduct. Parents were able to pay their childrens’ ways into schools such as Georgetown University, Yale University, Stanford University, and the University of California, Los Angeles.
Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman was also arrested as part of the investigation. She served 11 days in a minimum-security facility for paying someone to change her daughter’s SAT scores.
