A mother who paid $15,000 to cheat on her son's ACT and falsely claimed he was African American and of Hispanic/Latino origin on his college applications was sentenced to 3 weeks in prison on Wednesday as part of the college admissions scam, federal prosecutors said.
Marjorie Klapper, a jewelry business owner who pleaded guilty to conspiracy fraud, is the eighth parent to be sentenced in the sprawling scheme to game the college admissions system. The government had asked that Klapper be sentenced to 4 months in prison, while her attorneys requested she get one year of supervised release.
The three-week sentence is similar to others who participated in the test-cheating aspect of the scheme.
