«Breaking News» William H. Macy avoids charges over college admissions scandal 'because of second daughter'

Actor William H. Macy may have avoided being charged over the college admissions scandal because the allegedly incriminating emails were sent by his wife.

Desperate Housewives actress Felicity Huffman is among 50 people who have been accused of paying bribes to get their children into America's top colleges.

Huffman wrote an email about making a 'charitable contribution' of $15,000 to get their first daughter's SAT answers corrected, court documents show.    

Although the FBI allegedly recorded Macy discussing doing the same for his second daughter, Georgia Grace, the couple ultimately decided against doing so.

In the same phone call Macy was recorded explicitly acknowledging the bribe for his first daughter, Sofia Grace. 

William H. Macy, pictured at court today, may have avoided being charged over the college cheating scandal because they decided against paying to boost their second daughter's SAT score

Court documents allege that Macy and his wife Felicity Huffman, pictured at the Golden Globes with their daughters Georgia Grace and Sofia Grace, paid $15,000 for someone to correct Sofia's SAT answers 

Huffman, pictured at a court in Los Angeles, was arrested at gun point by seven FBI agents earlier today and charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud

Court documents, pictured, show that the majority of the evidence, including phone calls and emails, about the alleged payment to a fake charity involve Huffman alone

Macy was recorded talking about the bribe in a phone call about his second daughter in December 2018.

When asked 'are we going to do this similarly that we did with [your older daughter]', Macy replied 'Yeah' and 'Yes, I think we are'.

He then added that they were thinking about sending their daughter to places like Georgetown. 

When asked if they were okay with making a donation of $15,000, Macy replied: 'Cool.'

They also decided she would take the exam over two days.

Although the FBI recorded Macy discussing the bribe in the December 12 phone call, ultimately the pair decided against improving their second daughter's test scores.  

The court documents allege that Huffman and Macy, who is referred to in the documents as 'her spouse', paid $15,000 to the Key Worldwide Foundation (KWF).

The payment to KWF, which was set up by accused scam ringleader William Singer, was allegedly made to participate in the college entrance exam cheating scheme on behalf of their eldest daughter Sofia Grace Macy. 

The scheme meant that someone would correct the 18 year old's SAT answers after she sat the exam, improving her chances of getting into college.   

Although both Huffman and Macy initially met with someone to discuss the scam, court documents show a number of phone calls and emails from Huffman alone about getting extra time on the SAT and correcting her answers.

In the end, their older daughter Sofia Grace Macy's SAT score was 1420 - an improvement of 400 points on her PSAT a year earlier. 

Although Macy, who is referred to in the documents as 'her spouse', was recorded explicitly discussing doing the same for their second daughter Georgia Grace, the pair ultimately decided against it

When asked 'are we going to do this similarly that we did with [your older daughter]', Macy replied 'Yeah' and 'Yes, I think we are'

When it came to getting their younger daughter, Georgia Grace Macy, 16, into a good college, the pair once again allegedly turned to Singer's scam for help. 

Huffman was arrested at gun point by seven FBI agents earlier today, reports TMZ. She was released on $250,000 bond.

She has been charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud. A magistrate judge ordered the actress to restrict her travel to the continental US and she surrendered her passport to the court.

Sources also told TMZ that Huffman, Macy, and their two daughters had been asleep inside the home when the agents arrived. 

One FBI source said that the guns were drawn as a precaution. Huffman was then taken to a federal building and processed by federal marshals.

Huffman looked distraught as she waited for her hearing at the Los Angeles Federal Court of Justice on Tuesday. She is among the 33 parents who have been arrested for their involvement in the scheme

Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli are also among the parents who have been arrested for their involvement in the scheme.

The pair allegedly paid $500,000 to get their daughters Olivia Jade, 19, and Isabella, 20, into the University of Southern California, as fake rowing recruits.

The scheme was uncovered by the FBI and federal prosecutors in Boston, who discovered that dozens of parents had paid bribes to get their children into elite schools including Yale, Stanford, Georgetown, and UCLA.

In many instances the children were unaware that their parents had paid these bribes, according to federal documents.

Most of those charged either paid to get higher SAT scores or faked an athletic resume that, with the participation of a bribed college coach, helped the children get accepted to a college as a team's recruit. 

Prosecutors said in court on Tuesday that some students also lied about their ethnicity on applications to take advantage of affirmative action.  

William Rick Singer, the founder of KWF, had been identified as the alleged mastermind behind the scandal.

The documents claim that since 2011, Singer has received $25million from parents which was used to payoff or bribe individuals who could 'designate their children as recruited athletes, or other favored admissions categories'.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
