BOSTON – Federal prosecutors denied allegations that investigators deliberately withheld and fabricated evidence to entrap actress Lori Loughlin, her fashion designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli, and other prominent parents charged with cheating the college admissions process.
Prosecutors told a judge in a legal document filed late Wednesday that he should reject the parents' attempt to dismiss the charges, calling their claims of government misconduct “baseless." “Criminal defendants are entitled to a vigorous defense.
But making baseless claims that evidence was fabricated to frame innocent parties goes too far,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Frank wrote.
