US Actress Gets 14 Days for College Scam On September 13, Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman was given 14 days in prison for paying $15,000 to raise the score on her daughter's college entrance exam. "I was frightened, I was stupid, and I was so wrong," Huffman, 56, said as she became the first parent to get prison time in a college admissions scandal that has involved many rich parents. A total of 51 people have been charged in the scam. Prosecutors said parents paid to change test scores or paid coaches to get their children into top schools by having them recruited as athletes for sports they didn't even play. At the center of the scam is William "Rick" Singer, who paid a test proctor to correct the answers on Huffman's daughter's exam. Some parents are accused of paying up to $500,000 for Singer's help. Authorities said Huffman's daughter Sophia got an exam result that was 400 points higher than her score on a practice exam....
