Mossimo Giannulli Surrenders To Serve His 5-Month Sentence For Admissions Scandal

Fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, the husband of actress Lori Loughlin, decided to surrender to prison this Thursday. He reported to the Federal Correctional Complex Lompoc, to begin his five-month sentence, according to prison spokeswoman Suzanne Scott. The facility Giannulli reported to is a federal prison for male inmates only. It is located just two and a half hours outside of Los Angeles, where he lives with his family.

The 57-year-old is expected to serve his full sentence. His time behind bars overlaps with his wife’s, who began her two-month stay behind bars on Oct. 30 at a facility in Dublin.

BOSTON, MA – APRIL 3: Actress Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli, wearing green tie at left, leave the John Joseph Moakley United States Courthouse in Boston on April 3, 2019. Hollywood stars Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin were among 13 parents scheduled to appear in federal court in Boston Wednesday for the first time since they were charged last month in a massive college admissions cheating scandal. They were among 50 people – including coaches, powerful financiers, and entrepreneurs – charged in a brazen plot in which wealthy parents allegedly schemed to bribe sports coaches at top colleges to admit their children. Many of the parents allegedly paid to have someone else take the SAT or ACT exams for their children or correct their answers, guaranteeing them high scores.

As we previously reported, Loughlin and Giannulli initially pleaded not guilty to expanded charges of bribery brought against them in October along with 11 other parents swept up in the big college admissions scandal. However, in May, the duo changed course and agreed to plead guilty as Actress Felicity Huffman did in 2019.

Giannulli has agreed to serve five months and pay a $250,000 fine along with two years of supervised release and 250 hours of community service. Loughlin on the other hand was given a lighter sentence, with a judge ruling for her to spend two months in prison, pay a $150,000 fine and commit to 100 hours of community service. Both were given until Nov. 19 at the latest to report to prison and begin serving their respective sentences.
