Actress Felicity Huffman reported to federal prison on Tuesday to begin a 14-day sentence for her role in the massive college admissions scandal that swept across top-tier universities earlier this year. The “Desperate Housewives” star is the first of more than 30 parents charged in the scheme to begin serving time. Huffman is prepared to serve the term of imprisonment Judge Talwani ordered as one part of the punishment she imposed for Ms. Huffman’s actions,” a statement from her representative said. “I am deeply ashamed of what I have done,” Huffman told Judge Indira Talwani last month. Other parents headed for prison for roles in the scandal, known as “Operation Varsity Blues,” include a Napa Valley vineyard owner sentenced to serve five months, and twoothers each were sentenced to four months.
