The director of a Los Angeles private school at the center of a college admissions scandal will accept a plea deal and provide information to prosecutors, USA Today reported on Wednesday.

Igor Dvorskiy was in charge of the West Hollywood Test Center and was formerly a test proctor for The College Board. He was reportedly paid by Rick Singer, the man at the center of the scandal, to admit students whose parents had paid to have their ACT/SAT scores fixed.

As part of the plea deal filed in Boston on Tuesday, Dvorskiy must provide "substantial assistance" to prosecutors moving forward in order to receive a recommendation for a lighter sentence, according to USA Today.

Dvorskiy is the 24th person charged in the scandal to plead guilty via a plea bargain.

Racketeering, the crime that Dvorskiy is pleading to, carries a maximum sentence 20 years, several years of supervised release and then a $250,000 fine. Because of his cooperation, prosecutors will recommend a lighter sentence.

The remaining defendants are set for trials most likely starting next year.
