Mossimo Giannulli, the designer husband of Lori Loughlin, just learned his fate in court as he was sentenced to five months in prison for his role in the college admissions scandal.

Fox News reported that Giannulli was sentenced to 5 months in prison by Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton for the charges of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud and to honest services wire and mail fraud. Gorton accepted Giannulli’s plea deal, which he took when he finally pled guilty back in May after fighting the charges for over a year.

Giannulli was also sentenced to two years of supervised release, 250 hours of community service, and a $250,000 fine. During the virtual hearing, the judge said that he feels that the sentence is “sufficient but not greater than necessary under the circumstance.”

Giannulli appeared at the hearing virtually, wearing a dark suit, a light pink shirt, and a dark purple tie. After Gorton gave him his sentence, he addressed the court.

“I do deeply regret, as [attorney] Sean [Berkowitz] said, the harm that my actions have caused my daughters, my wife, and others,” Giannulli said. “I take full responsibility for my conduct, I’m ready to accept consequences and move forward with the lessons I’ve learned from this experience.”

Giannulli has 60 days to pay the fine, and he will have to report to a facility that has yet to be determined on November 19 before 2 p.m. During the sentencing, Judge Gorton blasted Giannulli in a speech, telling him that he belongs in jail to dissuade others in his position who believe they have enough money to buy whatever they want.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Kristen Kearney spoke during the hearing as well to say that the sentencing was “appropriate,” adding that Giannulli’s crimes were more than “just overzealous parenting.”

“It is criminal and desiring of the 5 months imprisonment,” Kearney said.

Loughlin is due to be sentenced later this afternoon. Under the terms of her deal, she would serve two months in prison and two years of supervised release, pay a $150,000 fine, and complete 100 hours of community service.

Loughlin and Giannulli were accused of paying $500,000 in bribe money to have their two daughters admitted to the University of Southern California as members of the crew team, even though neither girl had ever rowed before.
