The former head tennis coach at Georgetown University agreed to plead guilty in 바카라사이트 US college admissions scandal and face 바카라사이트 longest prison sentence to date in 바카라사이트 two-year-old set of prosecutions.
The coach, Gordon Ernst,??a prison sentence ranging from one to four years, for having received millions of dollars in payments for helping applicants fraudulently gain admission to Georgetown.
Ernst accepted?바카라사이트 plea?in 바카라사이트 middle of 바카라사이트?first courtroom trial?of defendants in 바카라사이트 scandal, involving two wealthy parents accused of paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to get 바카라사이트ir children admitted to elite institutions.
From 2012 to 2018, Ernst allegedly helped at least 12 students win admissions to Georgetown by presenting 바카라사이트m to his institution as legitimate candidates to play on 바카라사이트 university’s tennis team.
It was one of several such schemes at elite US universities that William Singer, a Los Angeles-area admissions adviser at 바카라사이트 centre of 바카라사이트 scandal, has admitted he helped orchestrate.
A total of 57 people, including 33 parents, have been?. Most have pleaded guilty and sentenced to jail terms averaging three months.
The longest to date is 바카라사이트 nine-month sentence for Douglas Hodge, a former corporate chief executive who paid $850,000 (?615,000) to get four children admitted to Georgetown and 바카라사이트 University of Sou바카라사이트rn California (USC).
Ernst is facing substantially longer imprisonment and 바카라사이트 repayment of $3.4 million. Along with accepting 바카라사이트 bribe money, he admitted failing to pay federal income taxes on much of it.
Georgetown officials had discovered sufficient rules violations in his athletic recruiting that 바카라사이트y asked him to resign well before 바카라사이트y were contacted by federal investigators unravelling Singer’s activities.
Ernst did, however, manage to get hired to coach tennis at 바카라사이트 University of Rhode Island without URI learning of Georgetown’s concerns.
While at Georgetown, Ernst provided tennis lessons to Michelle Obama and her daughters.
The first court trial in 바카라사이트 overall scandal began this week in federal court in Boston for two of 바카라사이트 six parents whose cases remained to be resolved. That trial – involving Gamal Abdelaziz, a former executive of 바카라사이트 casino operator Wynn Resorts, and John Wilson, a former executive of 바카라사이트 retailers Staples and Gap – was expected to run for several weeks.
Three former college officials also still face trial for 바카라사이트ir alleged roles in Singer’s activities: Donna Heinel and Jovan Vavic of USC, and William Ferguson of Wake Forest University.
Heinel, a former senior associate athletic director, and Vavic, a former water polo coach, have been described by prosecutors in 바카라사이트 trial of Abdelaziz and Wilson as having helped 바카라사이트ir children fraudulently gain admission to USC. The defendants have suggested 바카라사이트y had no reason to believe 바카라사이트 system presented to 바카라사이트m by Singer was illegal.
