Actress Lori Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, were sentenced Friday to spend months in federal prison for participating in a fraudulent scheme to help their daughters get into the University of Southern California as phony crew team recruits.

Loughlin was given a term of two months, and Giannulli five months, resolving one of the most closely watched cases in the college admissions bribery scandal that rocked higher education last year.

Each had pleaded guilty to fraud conspiracy after admitting in May that they took part in a scheme to pay $500,000 to facilitate admission to USC for their two daughters in an audacious scam, from 2016 to 2018, that involved fabricating stories about accomplishments in competitive rowing that were entirely false.

The daughters, prosecutors said, had no authentic credentials in the sport.

The celebrity couple from Los Angeles are among the parents caught in the investigation known as Operation Varsity Blues. Loughlin became known for playing Aunt Becky in the ABC television series `Full House,` which aired in the 1980s and '90s.

Later that month, prosecutors wrote, Giannulli emailed Singer a photograph of their younger daughter posing on a rowing machine. Loughlin was copied on the email. That daughter, `like her sister, did not row crew and was not a coxswain,` prosecutors wrote. The daughters were not charged with any crimes. However, USC last year announced they were no longer enrolled at the school.
