Mossimo Giannulli’s Request To Serve Remaining Prison Term At home Denied
Lori Loughlin’s husband Mossimo Giannulli isn’t as lucky as his wife because he just got his request to serve the remainder of his prison sentence at home denied.
Giannulli insisted that he should be able to serve his sentence at home after undergoing months of ‘grueling’ confinement due to the Coronavirus pandemic. He has been in prison since November.
However, Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton said that while Giannulli’s time in solitary confinement was “more onerous than they would have been but for the pandemic,” he doesn’t have enough evidence to prove that he will be better off at home.
“In any event, although defendant’s quarantine was longer than anticipated, he has since been released to the general population and has given no extraordinary or compelling reason why his current circumstances in the camp warrant immediate release,” the judge said.
As we reported, the couple both pleaded guilty for their roles in the college admissions scandal. His wife Lori has since been released.
“Mr. Giannulli spent almost 40% of his total sentence confined in solitary quarantine, despite testing negative for COVID-19 at least ten times and despite his counsel’s multiple requests that (the Bureau of Prisons) release him from quarantine,” his lawyers previosuly wrote in a motion per ABC News.
“The toll on Mr. Giannulli’s mental, physical, and emotional well-being has been significant,” they added.
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.

BOSTON, MA – AUGUST 27: Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli, right, leave the John Joseph Moakley United States Courthouse in Boston on Aug. 27, 2019. A judge says actress Lori Loughlin and her fashion designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli, can continue using a law firm that recently represented the University of Southern California. The couple appeared in Boston federal court on Tuesday to settle a dispute over their choice of lawyers in a sweeping college admissions bribery case. Prosecutors had said their lawyers pose a potential conflict of interest. Loughlin and Giannulli say the firms work for USC was unrelated to the admissions case and was handled by different lawyers.
