BOSTON - Former coaches from the University of Southern California and Georgetown University are among a dozen people due in court on Monday to face charges that they participated in the largest college admissions fraud scheme uncovered in U.S. history.
The 12 people are expected to plead not guilty to charges that they took part in a $25 million racketeering conspiracy in which wealthy parents paid for help cheating on admissions exams and to bribe coaches who secured spots for their children in elite universities as fake athletic prospects. The defendants due in Boston federal court on Monday include Gordon Ernst, Georgetown’s former head tennis coach; Jorge Salcedo, the former men’s soccer head coach at the University of California at Los Angeles , and Donna Heinel, who was fired from her post as associate athletic director at the University of Southern California once the fraud was disclosed.
Prosecutors said Singer paid Ernst $2.7 million in bribes, which Ernst used to buy a house on Cape Cod in Massachusetts, in exchange for helping students get preferential admission to Georgetown as “bought-and-paid-for” tennis recruits.
