ABC-7 Eyewitness News that aired Thursday, Huffman, 60, broke her silence about her role in the wide ranging criminal conspiracy, which was dubbed “Varsity Blues.”In it, wealthy parents of high school students — including celeb moms Huffman and Lori Loughlin — were charged with using bribery, cheating and fraud to fake their kids’ way into elite colleges. “People assume that I went into this looking for a way to cheat the system and making proverbial criminal deals in back alleys, but that was not the case. I worked with a highly recommended college counselor named Rick Singer,” Huffman said, referring to the ringleader of the scheme, who was sentenced to 3 1/2 years in federal prison in January.

So, I did it. It felt like I had to give my daughter a chance at a future,” she said. “And so it was sort of like my daughter’s future, which meant I had to break the law.”She did
