The resume appears to lie about the athletic achievements ofOlivia Jade Giannulli, claiming the girl was an accomplished crew athlete, even though prosecutors say Olivia Jade never participated in a crew program.
Prosecutors allege Loughlin and Giannulli were part of a shocking nationwide college admissions scam, the investigation of which became known as Operation Varsity Blues. The couple allegedly paid $500,000 to admissions consultant William “Rick” Singer to falsely designate daughters Olivia and older sisterIsabella Rose Giannulli, 21, as recruits to the USC crew team, though neither actually participated in the sport.
Loughlin and Giannulli face charges of federal programs bribery, money laundering conspiracy, conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, and honest services mail and wire fraud. They face up to 45 years in prison. They have pleaded not guilty to the charges, and say they believe that the money was part of a legitimate donation to the school.
“They didn’t have anything to do with it,” says the insider. “The handwritten part isn’t in any of their writing. They don’t even know enough about crew to know what awards are prestigious or not. They are not capable of falsifying a resume like that, because that’s not their world”
