Win a New iPhone 11 PRO: http://bit.ly/33PIJPQ. Lori Loughlin 'very concerned' about 'very severe' sentences she and husband face. Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli are said to be paying close attention to the jail sentences other parents have received in connection to the college admissions scandal.
The embattled couple is said to be feeling 'discouraged' and 'concerned' after learning that 56-year-old Toby MacFarlane was sentenced to six months in prison for his part in the scandal, a source explained to People.
The real estate executive pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud.
He had lied about his children's athletic ability to get them enrolled into the University of Southern California, a judge found. McFarlane was ordered to pay roughly $82,000 in back taxes and interest to the IRS.
MacFarlane paid $450,000 to secure his kids spot - falsely claiming his daughter was a soccer star and his son was a hopeful basketball player.
'There's a similarity to the cases,' a source close to Loughlin, stated.
'And they're smart enough to see that. So they're very concerned. If this guy pleaded guilty and was still given six months, what does that mean for them?
'If they're convicted, their sentences are going to be very severe. Also, they face more charges than Mr. McFarlane did. They're very discouraged.'
The couple is said to have paid $500,000 to secure spots at USC for their daughters - Olivia Jade Giannulli and Isabella Rose Giannulli.
Last month, they were given an additional federal charge of one count of conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery.
If convicted, they can be sentenced to 45 years in prison.
