“Full House” actor Lori Loughlin and her husband, the fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, have agreed to plead guilty in connection with the college admissions bribery scandal. Giannulli, 56, will plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud and honest services wire and mail fraud, prosecutors said. The couple will formally plead guilty and be sentenced at a hearing before U.S. District Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton that hasn’t yet been scheduled, the statement added. Loughlin and Giannulli are among dozens of prominent public figures charged in the scandal that erupted in March 2019. The FBI called it a nationwide conspiracy that exposed how well-heeled parents bribed their children’s way into the nation’s most elite colleges.
