Lori Loughlin is among 11 parents who on Tuesday were hit with more charges in the national college admissions scandal. Her husband, fashion designer husband was also charged with the new count. The 11 allegedly “conspired to commit federal program bribery by bribing employees of the University of Southern California to facilitate their children’s admission.

The Hollywood couple was previously indicted on charges of money laundering conspiracy and conspiracy to commit mail fraud; accused of paying $500,000 in exchange for having their two daughters designated as recruits to USC’s crew team – even though the two never participated in the sport – thereby guaranteeing their admission into the school. The two have maintained their innocence and are awaiting trial.
