Some of the 33 parents charged Tuesday with cheating to get their children into prestigious schools may have paid enough in bribes to cover the full cost of a college education and then some.Two SAT/ACT administrators, an exam proctor, nine coaches at elite schools, a college administrator and 33 parents -- a total of 50 people -- are accused of participating in a scheme that involved cheating on standardized tests and bribing college coaches and others to admit students as athletes regardless of their abilities, prosecutors revealed in a federal indictment. The scandal is being called the largest college admissions scam ever prosecuted.FBI Special Agent Joseph Bonavolonta said some parents spent anywhere from 0,000 to .5 million to guarantee admissions for their children.The relatives of one applicant paid a California business owner .2 million to falsely describe the individual as the co-captain of a well-known soccer California soccer team, although the applicant did not play competitive soccer, prosecutors said.The average annual cost of tuition and fees at a private, four-year college is ,478, according to the most recent report from the US Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics."This case is about the widening corruption of elite college admissions through the steady application of wealth combined with fraud," Andrew Lelling, the US attorney for Massachusetts, said. "There can be no separate college admission system for the wealthy, and I'll add that there will not be a separate criminal justice system either."The parents alleged to have been involved include CEOs, a fashion designer, the chairman of a global law firm and actors including Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin, Lelling said.He added, "For every student admitted through fraud, an honest, genuinely talented student was rejected."How the money was spentMuch of the indictment revolves around William Rick Singer, the founder of a for-profit college counseling and preparation business known as The Key."OK, so, who we are ... what we do is we help the wealthiest families in the US get their kids into school," Singer told one parent, according to prosecutors.Lelling explained the two main avenues for carrying out the scheme."I'll speak more broadly, there were essentially two kinds of fraud that Singer was selling," Lelling said of the accusations that span from 2011 to 2019. "One was to cheat on the SAT or ACT, and the other was to use his connections with Division I coaches and use bribes to get these parents' kids into school with fake athletic credentials."For example, prosecutors said Singer and his co-conspirators used stock photos of a person playing a sport and then put the face of a student onto that image via Photoshop.Singer was paid roughly million by parents to help their children get in to schools, the US attorney said.Singer pleaded guilty on Tuesday to racketeering conspiracy, money laundering conspiracy, conspiracy to defraud the United States and obstruction of justice, prosecutors said.Actresses are allegedly on tape discussing schemeBest known for her role on TV's "Desperate Housewives," Huffman is accused of paying ,000 to Singer's fake charity, the Key Worldwide Foundation, to facilitate cheating for her daughter on the SATs, the complaint says.Her daughter received a 1420 on her test, which was 400 points higher than a PSAT taken a year earlier without the same administrator, the complaint states.Huffman also discussed the scheme in a recorded phone call with a cooperating witness, the complaint says.Huffman has been charged with felony conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud, according to court paperwork filed Monday in federal court in Massachusetts. She was arrested without incident at her home, the FBI said.She appeared Tuesday in a federal court in Los Angeles where a judge set bond for her at 0,000 and federal agents took her passport.Her next court date has been set for March 29 in Boston.Loughlin, who played Aunt Becky on "Full House," is facing the same felony charge. Her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, was also charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud.Giannulli and Loughlin allegedly agreed to pay bribes totaling 0,000 in exchange for having their two daughters designated as recruits to the USC crew team, even though they did not participate in crew, the complaint said.The money was given to Singer's fake charity, and in a recorded phone call Singer clarified that the money was actually for getting their daughters into USC crew, according to the complaint.Giannulli appeared in court Tuesday, where a magistrate judge set a million bond and ordered him to surrender his passport.Even though she was not present in court, prosecutors and Loughlin's attorneys agreed on similar terms as well as permission for her to travel to Vancouver and back for work.CNN has contacted Iconix Brand Group, which owns Giannulli's namesake fashion company, Mossimo.CNN is also working to get comment from the actresses' representatives.The colleges involvedCoaches from Yale, Stanford, the University of Southern California, Wake Forest and Georgetown, among others, are implicated in the case. The extensive case involved arrests in six states across the country."The Department of Justice believes that Yale has been the victim of a crime perpetrated by a former coach who no longer works at the university," the university said in a statement sent out to the school. "The corrupt behavior alleged by the Department of Justice is an affront to our university's deeply held values of inclusion and fairness."Georgetown told students that the coach arrested in their case, "has not coached our tennis team since December 2017, when he was placed on leave after the Office of Undergraduate Admissions identified irregularities in his recruitment practices and the University initiated an internal investigation."The University of Southern California said it is reviewing its application process.What happens to the students?It was not an accident that no students were charged on Tuesday, said Lelling, the US attorney. The parents and other defendants were "the prime movers of this fraud," he said. He said students may face charges down the road. 6345

ST. LOUIS, Missouri — Planned Parenthood earlier this week sued the state of Missouri for threatening to pull its license to operate and conduct abortion procedures. If the clinic in St. Louis closes, Missouri would become the first state in the nation without an abortion clinic.“This is not a drill. This is not a warning,” said Dr. Leana Wen, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, in a news release. “This is a real public health crisis. This week, Missouri would be the first state in the country to go dark — without a health center that provides safe, legal abortion care.”Planned Parenthood said the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services is refusing to renew the clinic’s license, claiming it is non-compliant.Outside of the clinic Tuesday, pro-life supporters distributed information, much like any other day. But inside the clinic, Planned Parenthood officials were gearing up for another legal fight. "Always moving the goalpost on us, always reinterpreting certain regulations,” said Dr. Colleen McNicholas with Planned Parenthood. McNicholas is the only doctor in Missouri who performs abortion procedures. “One in four women will have an abortion in their life. That is a lot of people,” McNicholas said. “It is an incredibly common and safe procedure and one that in just a few minutes allows me to help people get to a better place.” On Friday, Republican Gov. Mike Parson 1437

Researchers from the British Psychological Society released a report last week challenging stereotypes on why people are obese. The report states that "obesity is not simply down to an individual’s lack of willpower." The report claims there are a number of circumstances, some of which beyond a person's control, for becoming obese. "The people who are most likely to be an unhealthy weight are those who have a high genetic risk of developing obesity and whose lives are also shaped by work, school and social environments that promote overeating and inactivity," the BPS report says. "People who live in deprived areas often experience high levels of stress, including major life challenges and trauma, often their neighborhoods offer few opportunities and incentives for physical activity and options for accessing affordable healthy food are limited.""Research evidence points strongly to genes being a major part of the explanation for why some people are more susceptible to becoming obese than others," the BPS report continues.The report comes as 40 percent of American adults are considered obese, according to CDC figures.Fat shaming does not workThree weeks ago, late night comedian Bill Maher gave a controversial dialog on obesity, which he admitted was "fat shaming." "Fat shaming doesn’t need to end it needs to make a comeback," he said. Maher added, "Being fat isn’t a birth defect. Nobody comes out of the womb needing to buy two seats on the airplane. Here it is in a nutshell from the New York Times: Poor Diet is the Leading Cause of Mortality in the United States. Everyone knows that obesity is linked to terrible conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and virginity.”Maher was criticized by some, including fellow late night comic James Corden. "“There’s a common and insulting misconception that fat people are stupid and lazy, and we’re not. We know that being overweight isn’t good for us and I’ve struggled my entire life trying to manage my weight and I suck at it. I’ve had good days and bad months," Corden said. According to the BPS research, fat shaming does not work. "Shame does not motivate people or help them to make sustainable changes to their lives. In fact, weight stigma perpetuates a cycle of shame and weight gain at all levels of obesity. As a person’s Body Mass Index (BMI) increases, so does their perception of discrimination towards them because of their weight," the study says.To read the full report, click 2475

Six people are dead after two floatplanes carrying cruise ship passengers collided in flight near Ketchikan, Alaska, on Monday, the US Coast Guard said.The Alaska State Troopers identified the deceased passengers as Simon Bodie, 56, of Tempe, New South Wales, Australia; Cassandra Webb, 62, of St. Louis, Missouri; Ryan Wilk, 39, of Utah; Louis Botha, 46, of San Diego, California; and Elsa Wilk, 37, of Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. Randy Sullivan, a 46-year-old pilot from Ketchikan also died.The Coast Guard, which is leading the investigation, said 10 people were rescued following the collision between a Beaver floatplane and an Otter floatplane.The Coast Guard had initially announced the death of four people on Monday, as authorities searched for two others who were missing.The bodies of the missing individuals were located Tuesday night, raising the death toll to six, the Coast Guard said.Floatplanes are aircrafts with pontoons or floats that allow them to land on water.The passengers on both planes were guests on a Princess Cruises ship -- the Royal Princess -- which is on a seven-day trip. There were 14 Americans, one Canadian and one Australian on board the two planes, according to the Coast Guard.The Royal Princess' voyage originated in Vancouver, British Columbia, over the weekend and is scheduled to end Saturday in Anchorage, Alaska, the company said. Part of the voyage, the company's website said, included "scenic glacier viewing" with stops at Juneau, Ketchikan and Skagway.The passengers on each planeThe two planes collided around 1 p.m. (5 p.m. ET). The Otter plane, operated by Taquan Air, a regional airline based in Ketchikan, was flying a shore excursion with 10 passengers and a pilot aboard. One of those passengers died, Princess Cruises said.Ten people from the aircraft were transported to the hospital. As of Tuesday night, three had been discharged. A 67-year-old man remains in serious condition, but is improving, a hospital spokeswoman said.The second plane was carrying four passengers and a pilot on an independent tour, the cruise line said. It was operated by Mountain Air Service, NTSB board member Jennifer Homendy said. Everyone aboard that plane was killed, according to the Coast Guard.The search for the two missing people The Coast Guard, Ketchikan Volunteer Rescue Squad, partner agencies and good Samaritans searched the shoreline and forested areas near the crash site for 27 hours, according to the Coast Guard.The "exhaustive search and rescue efforts" covered 93 square nautical miles, the Coast Guard said."We have been in regular contact with the family members throughout our search efforts," said Capt. Stephen White, Sector Juneau commander. "This is not the outcome we hoped for and extend our deepest sympathies during this very difficult time."Taquan Air released a statement saying it was "in the midst of an active crisis response, and our focus is on assisting these passengers, the pilot, our staff, their families and loved ones, and first responders.""Taquan Air has suspended all scheduled flights and is cooperating fully with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other authorities to examine every aspect of this event," the company's statement said.No flight data recorders on either aircraftA 14-member NTSB team of investigators will try to determine what caused the crash, Homendy said during a news conference Tuesday.Eleven of them were on the scene Tuesday night with the other three on the way.Investigators will want to talk with surviving passengers, the pilot of the Taquan airplane, other employees of the air operators as well as other pilots and witnesses that were in the area at the time, Homendy said.They will also be requesting information from parties involved and looking at pilot log books, the training and qualifications of the pilots, any possible medical issues, whether flight plans were filed with the companies or FAA, maintenance records for the aircrafts as well as each company's operating procedures and whether those procedures were followed, she said.There were no cockpit voice recorders or flight data recorders on either of the two planes, Homendy also said during the news conference. Neither plane was required by regulation to have such recorders, she said.The two planes collided between 3,200 and 3,300 feet on the west side of George Inlet, according to Homendy.The wreckage is expected to be recovered Wednesday, Homendy said, and an NTSB structural expert will try to figure out how the two planes came together. 4617
