ET: Lori Loughlin Begins 2-Month Prison Sentence Following College Admissions Scandal

Convicted actress Lori Loughlin begun her jail term at a federal prison in California. This comes only a few months after she and her husband Mossimo Giannulli were sentenced following a college admission scandal.

“Full House” star Lori Loughlin has started her 2-month sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in California. The actress turned herself in on Friday. Interestingly, this means her sentence starts early as she was initially supposed to report to prison on November 19.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, a representative from the U.S Attorney’s office explained that the parties involved in Loughlin’s lawsuit agreed that it was okay for the actress to start her prison sentence on October 30 instead of November 19.

Back in August, the judge presiding over Loughlin’s case accepted a plea deal from the actress. This resulted in a judgment consisting of a two-month sentence and two-years supervised release.

Earlier in the year, news came out about how Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli paid bribes to get their daughters, Isabella and Olivia, admitted into the University.

Loughlin reportedly draws strength from her family.

While Loughlin is serving her jail term of two months, Giannulli is serving a five-month sentence alongside two years of supervised release, a $250,000 fine, and 250 hours of community service for his part in the scandal.

While speaking to PEOPLE last month, a source close to the couple explained that the actress was determined to get through her jail term without issues.
