Actress Felicity Huffman has been sentenced to 14 days in prison for paying to rig her daughter's university entrance exams.
US District Judge Indira Talwani rejected pleas from the former Desperate Housewives actress and her attorney who insisted the TV star was "remorseful and should be spared incarceration".
Huffman was arrested in the investigation named "Operation Varsity Blues," which accused wealthy parents of paying bribes to help their children get into elite universities across the country.
She is among 14 parents who agreed to plead guilty to charges in the case.
