Peter Sartorio of California managed to get away with zero prison time for his evil deeds. He paid $15,000 to have his daughter's ACT score tweaked. He did not exercise any pressure or pay any bribes to try to get her admitted to a school. He got nailed with a $9,500 fine, one year of probation and 250 hours of community service.
Gregory Abbott, 68, and his wife Marcia, 59, were also sentenced after pleading to one count of fraud and conspiracy. The Abbotts each got one month in custody, a year of supervised release, and a $45,000 fine each as well as 250 hours each of community service. The prosecution had asked for eight months in custody. They used a family foundation to pay $50,000 for the ACT (on which their daughter received 35/36) and $150,000 for the SAT, on which she received a perfect 800 on Math and a very decent 710 on English Lit.
So far of the 35 parents charged 16 have pleaded guilty. All but one (Sartorio) has received at least some in-custody time.
So far actress Lori Laughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli are still vowing to fight it to the wall, admitted that what they did was "wrong" but not unlawful. Sources claiming to be close to Laughlin assert that she is terrified of actually going to prison and will fight it out tooth and nail to avoid ANY custody time.

I predict Lori will do some time behind bars. There is nothing worse than pissing off a Federal prosecutor.
Agree with Trey. That...and her disgusting "I'm above it all" privileged attitude. Lock Her Up!
I am not sure she is saying I AM ABOVE THAT. She may be saying I AM SCARED SHITLESS AND WILL TRY TO BEAT THE RAP. But that is a WAG, I actually know nothing about it.
