The couple is facing multiple charges including conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud.
According to an FBI affidavit, the couple allegedly "agreed to a pay bribes totalling $500,000 in exchange for having their two daughters designated as recruits to the USC crew team -- despite the fact that they did not participate in crew - thereby facilitating their admission to USC".

Back in March 2019, Lori surrendered to the FBI and was taken into custody. She was later released on $1 million bond.

According to Deadline, the trial will be completed well before Thanksgiving.
