FELICITY HUFFMAN

The Desperate Housewives star, 56, tearfully pleaded guilty to a mail-fraud charge on May 13. “I accept full responsibi­lity for my actions,” Huffman said in April of paying Singer $22,000 to have her oldest daughter’s SAT answers corrected by a proctor. Prosecutor­s have recommende­d four months in jail and a $29,000 fine as a part of her plea agreement. As Huffman awaits her sentencing on Sep. 13, she has been doing her best to keep a low profile. After starring in Netflix’s acclaimed miniseries When They See Us, she opted not to be submitted for considerat­ion for an Emmy nomination.

RICK SINGER

Singer, 58, is due to be sentenced for money laundering, racketeeri­ng, obstructio­n of justice and tax fraud on Sep. 19. The ringleader’s willingnes­s to help the investigat­ion by giving Feds the names of parents involved likely will help him in court. “The government made a deal with the devil in this case,” says Leonard. “Singer is the mastermind behind this scheme and will undoubtedl­y receive a reduced sentence in exchange for his cooperatio­n.”

JOHN VANDEMOER

On Jun. 12, the former Stanford University sailing coach, 41, who pleaded guilty to racketeeri­ng conspiracy, became the first person involved in the scandal to be sentenced. Vandemoer received two years supervised release, a $14,700 fine – and no jail time. He must spend the first six months of the sentence under house arrest.
