Marjorie Klapper, 51, of Menlo Park, California, is the ninth parent to be sentenced in a widespread college bribery scheme involving dozens of wealthy and famous parents

Jewelry business owner Marjorie Klapper leaves the federal courthouse after being sentenced in nationwide college admissions cheating scheme in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S., Oct. 16, 2019.The owner of a California jewellery business was sentenced Wednesday to three weeks in prison after she was accused of paying $15,000 to rig her son’s ACT exam and of falsely listing him as a racial minority on college applications.

Authorities say Klapper paid $15,000 to a sham charity operated by a college admissions consultant, who then bribed a test proctor to fix her son’s ACT answers in 2017.Klapper also was accused of falsely listing her son as African American and Hispanic on college applications to increase his chances of getting admitted, and of indicating he was the first in his family to attend college. Prosecutors said both Klapper and her husband graduated from college.

Prosecutors asked for a sentence of four months in prison, arguing that by lying on her son’s applications, Klapper “increased the likelihood that her fraud would come at the expense of an actual minority candidate.”
