The alleged ‘scheme’ helped students cheat on entrance exams at elite universities like Yale, Stanford and Georgetown.

According to court documents, Felicity made a “charitable contribution” of $15,000 to participate in the scheme, on behalf of her daughter.

Felicity, who was ‘secretly’ recorded discussing the scheme with a co-operating witness, pleaded guilty to charges of mail fraud and honest services mail fraud back in May.
