Felicity Huffman goes to court for sentencing
Prosecutors recommended U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani sentence Huffman to one month behind bars after her guilty plea in May to conspiracy related to her payment of $15,000 to have someone secretly correct her daughter's answers on the SAT college entrance test, according to court documents.
The sentencing is set for 2:30 p.m. EDT (1830 GMT).
The former "Desperate Housewives" star is among 51 people accused in a scheme in which wealthy parents paid to secure spots for their children in prominent U.S. universities including Yale, Georgetown and the University of Southern California, through cheating on entrance exams or bribes paid to college athletic team coaches.
Also among parents charged in the scandal was actress Lori Loughlin, who starred in the TV series "Full House," and her designer husband Mossimo Giannulli.
