Washington: Hollywood actress Felicity Huffman has pleaded guilty to paying USD 15,000 to a fake charity that facilitated cheating when her daughter took the SATs for college admission. When she appeared in court in Boston on Monday, prosecutors recommended a sentence of four months prison time for the 56-year-old "Desperate Housewives" TV star for her role in the college admissions scandal, CNN reported.

They also suggested a USD 20,000 fine and 12 months of supervised release for the charge, which is a felony. She is slated to be sentenced on September 13. The charity was associated with Rick Singer, who has confessed to helping wealthy parents cheat on standardised tests for their children.
