Many other stars have felt the need to throw some shade at the issue on their social media or those of their children. On Monday afternoon, John Lowe, 24, first approached the shocking scandal on Twitter, where he talked about his own experience preparing for college applications.

John Lowe wrote that he was disgusted that students who deserved it could miss the opportunity to attend a dream school by those who cheat.

Prosecutors charged that the defendants allegedly paid bribes of up to $ 6 million for their children to enter elite universities, such as Yale, Stanford, Georgetown and the University of Southern California.

This is a serious crime, classified as a conspiracy to commit mail fraud and fraud of honest services or functions, as revealed by the court documents presented before the court of that state.
