Lori Loughlin and co-defendants in the college admissions scandal ask to have the fraud, bribery and money laundering charges against them dismissed.
Lori Loughlin and 13 other parents charged in the college admissions scandal asked a judge on Wednesday to dismiss the fraud, bribery and money laundering charges lodged against them, arguing that federal prosecutors in Boston violated their rights and broke judicial rules by withholding for 16 months notes taken by the scam’s ringleader, William “Rick” Singer.
Eight of the 14 parents who have maintained their innocence — a group that includes Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli — are scheduled to go to trial Oct. 5 in Boston. The remaining six are slated for trial in January. Singer has pleaded guilty to four felonies and has yet to be sentenced.
When the father asked him to elaborate, Singer said: “Essentially, um, that donation is going to the — you know, to the program.” Afterwards, Singer fielded a “loud and abrasive call” from his handlers, he wrote in his iPhone.“They continue to ask me to tell a fib and not restate what I told my clients as to where there money was going — to the program not the coach,” he wrote. While he told clients the payments were donations, “they want it to be a payment,” he wrote.
William Trach, Loughlin’s attorney, argued in the motion filed Wednesday that prosecutors committed “outrageous” misconduct in withholding the records for 16 months. The notes demonstrate the innocence of Loughlin and her co-defendants, Trach wrote, and show the government coerced Singer into going along with a version of events he knew was, in his own words, “not accurate.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney’s office in Boston didn’t respond to a request for comment. Rosen, speaking in court last month, said the note that sparked such an uproar was one of many, and that in the others, Singer acknowledged what he was doing was illegitimate. Indeed, most of the notes that defense attorneys filed in court Wednesday are redacted.
Eoin Beirne, who represents Elisabeth Kimmel, a La Jolla media executive charged with defrauding USC and Georgetown, had instructed Heller to preserve his communications with Singer. In a biting response, Heller said he’d never fielded such a demand in his 50 years of practicing law.
