Felicity Huffman clutched her brother's hand as she arrived at a Boston courthouse on Monday, where she is expected to admit she paid $15,000 in bribes in order to get her daughter a higher score on a standardized test.
The actress will then head home and await her sentencing, just two months after she was first indicted alongside 32 other parents for her role in the college admissions scandal.
Huffman, 56, is expected to waive her indictment during her court appearance and enter a plea of guilty to a single charge of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud.
That carries a maximum prison sentence of 20 years, but based on the scale of the crime, Huffman will instead be looking at four to ten months behind bars.
This means that Huffman could put this entire experience behind her by the end of the year.
