The case — the biggest college admissions scheme ever prosecuted by the U.S. Justice Department — has roiled the world of higher education and amplified complaints the system is stacked in favor of the rich. Associated Press Actress Lori Loughlin, center, appeared in court on Wednesday along with some of the other parents charged in the college bribery scandal. But first-time offenders typically get only a fraction of that, and experts said some parents may avoid prison if they quickly agree to plead guilty. Sartorio, the founder of an organic frozen-food company, did not appear in court Wednesday, and it was not clear when the Menlo Park, California, businessman would plead guilty. Other parents charged in the case include the former co-chairman of an international law firm and the former head of a Silicon Valley venture capital firm.
