She also agreed to pay $200,000 to have one of her daughters labeled as a fake beach volleyball recruit at the University of Southern California but was arrested before the girl was formally admitted, prosecutors said. "I am so very sorry that I tried to create an unfair advantage for my children,” she told the judge. US. District Judge Nathaniel Gorton said Janavs' actions damaged “the entire system of higher education in this country.” Michelle had pleaded guilty to charges of committing wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering. A District Court judge has also ordered her to pay a $250,000 fine and she'll be under two years supervised release when she gets out of prison
