Yesterday, Felicity Huffman released a statement confirming she is set to plead guilty in the college admissions cheating case. Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli, the two other celebrities named, have not indicated they are pleading guilty yet. But according to TMZ, whether the two enter a plea or let their case go to a federal grand jury, they are set to face years of prison time because of the amount of money they used in their bribes.

Loughlin and Giannulli are accused of paying $500,000 to make it appear that their two daughters Olivia Jade and Isabella were rowing team recruits to guarantee the girls’ admission to USC. Multiple sources connected to the case told TMZ that prosecutors have offered the case's accused parents plea deals but will only accept pleas with prison time attached. The amount of recommended jail time is dependent on the amount paid in bribes and whether the parent accepts responsibility for what he or she did, per TMZ.

In the case of Huffman, who was accused of paying $15,000 to have her oldest daughter’s SAT score doctored, she faces "as little as four months in prison," TMZ wrote. For Loughlin and Giannulli, their minimum prison sentence ranges from two to two and a half years because of their $500,000 bribe.

Should they or any other parents not reach a plea deal, their case will go to a federal grand jury, TMZ’s sources said, where charges, including money laundering, will be added. Those additional charges will reportedly "significantly" raise the prison sentence minimum.

How is Loughlin coping with all this? People ran a report on how she is turning to God and yoga to persevere. “While waiting for this to come to some conclusion, she’s trying to keep a somewhat regular schedule—going to yoga and pilates and seeing friends for lunch,” a source told the outlet. “She is very faith-based, and she knows her faith will get her through this. She’s holding up well, given the circumstances. She has a strong very strong faith that is helping her immensely. She loves her husband and her children very much.”
