BOSTON (1010 WINS/AP) -- Actress Felicity Huffman pleaded guilty in a Boston courtroom Monday afternoon in the college admissions cheating scheme. Specifically, that she paid $15,000 to a fake charity that facilitated cheating when her daughter took the SATs.
Prosecutors in court recommended a sentence of four months prison time. They also suggested a $20,000 fine and 12 months of supervised release for the charge, which is a felony.
A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for Sept. 13.
The 56-year-old actress didn't speak as she walked into the courthouse Monday with her brother Moore Huffman Jr.
She is among 14 prominent parents who have agreed to plead guilty since dozens of people were arrested in March in the case named "Operation Varsity Blues."
Huffman has apologized and said her daughter was unaware of her actions.
Prosecutors have said they will seek a prison sentence on the low end of a range between four and 10 months.
