Actress Felicity Huffman broke down in tears in a Boston court on Monday while pleading guilty to paying $15,000 to rig her daughter's SAT scores, CNN reported.
Full House actress Loughlin was indicted at the same time as Huffman in the scam which the FBI have dubbed operation "Varsity Blues".
Huffman has now plead guilty to paying Singer $15,000 to fake a charity that facilitated cheating while her daughter took her SAT exam.
This score was about 400 points higher than what she scored on her preliminary SAT exam taken one year prior.
In their correspondence, the two talked about Huffman's daughter being given extra time to write her SAT exam, and also arranged for her to take the exam in a specific location. This location was controlled by an administrator Singer had bribed.
He has also been accused of bribing college coaches into falsely recognizing prospective students as athletes which in turn accelerated their admissions process.
She and her fashion designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli, are accused of paying $500,000 to have both their daughters accepted to the University of South Carolina as rowing recruits, despite neither girls rowing crew.
"I am ashamed of the pain I have caused my daughter, my family, my friends, my colleagues and the educational community," she said.
"I want to apologize to the students who work hard every day to get into college, and to their parents who make tremendous sacrifices to support their children and do so honestly."
Prosecutors have also suggested she be fined $20,000 and be subject to 12 months supervised release.
She will be sentenced on September 13.
These charges include racketeering, money laundering, conspiracy to defraud the US, and obstruction of justice. He is due to be sentenced on September 19.
